Answer:
7:8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert their times to common units. You'll want to put it in seconds:
5 minutes and 50 seconds = 350 seconds
- multiply 5 minutes by 60 to get it into seconds and then add the other 50 seconds to it
- for Elizabeth's time, multiply 6 by 60 seconds and add 40 to it
To get the ratio of their times, divide Alison's time by Elizabeth's time:
350 ÷ 400 = 7:8
