Answer:

Explanation:

The both time duration should be converted to the lesser unit of time which is "minutes"

1 hour= 60 minutes

Therefore, 6 hours= 60 minutes * 6

6 hours= 360 minutes

Back to the question since the duration are in the same unit of time, we can now divide to the smallest ratio form.

40minutes/360minutes

=1/9

The final answer is 1:9
