#1/6#

#1# hour is equal to #60# minutes.

So, #2# hours will be a total of #60*2=120# minutes.

So, the fraction will be

#(20 \ "minutes")/(120 \ "minutes")#

#=20/120#

Now, we must divide by the lowest common multiple of both numbers, which in this case is #20#.

So, we get

#(20-:20)/(120-:20)#

#=1/6#

That's the answer!
