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
