Step 1
To compare these values directly they need to be in the same units of measurement of time.
Notice that 10 minutes will divide exactly into 1 hour (60 minutes). So I choose the unit of measurement to be 10 minutes.
1 hour is 60 minutes which is 6 lots of 10 minutes.
So I hour is the a count of 6 units

Count of 10 minutes in 14 hours 10 minutes

14 hours to count of 10 minutes

\to 14 \times 6 = 84

Plus the 10 minutes from 14 hrs 10 min

\to \frac{1}{85}

Count of 10 minutes in 5 hours

5 hours to count of 10 minutes

\to 5 \times 6 = 30

Determine the ratio

\frac{5 hours}{14 hours 10 minutes} = \frac{30}{85}

Divide top and bottom by 5

\frac{30 \div 5}{85 \div 5} = \frac{6}{17}
