Ineedhelpthankyou is completely wrong. Speaking that it has been a month, I'm sure you've already turned the assignment in. However, I just wanted you to know the REAL way to do it.

Then, you would put 5 for one denominator and 4 for the other denominator because you always put time on the denominator. Next, you have to get the denominators the same. The LCD (lowest common denominator) is 20. Therefore, multiply the numerator and denominator in the first fraction by 5 and then the numerator and denominator on the second fraction by 4. Our fractions will look like....
