Proper. Proper fractions are when the numerator (top number) is smaller then the denominator (bottom number), improper fractions being the opposite- think of 5/3, 8/5, etc. In the fractions 5/9 and 10/20 both numerators are smaller then the denominator, making them proper fractions. If there’s an option to simplify the numbers on the question; 5/9 would stay the same and 10/20 would turn into 1/2. Hope this helps!
your question doesn't make sense if an electrician came to your house it would cost $40 then $55 dollars per hour but there is no way that you can solve that (40+(55•2)=150+55=205 which is already over $190 dollars
