Question

If N collected 4/20lb of cloth and Z collected 7/8lb of cloth.

Answer 1

First you need to give both fractions a common denominator lets say 40. So N would be 8/40 and Z would be 35/40, so Z collected more than N. All together they collected 43/40 which simplifies to be 1 and 2/40 which would again simplify to 1 and 1/20.
