Jeffrey.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of minutes Jeffrey does cardio to resistance is 10:20, while the ratio is minutes Stanley does is 11:17. First, let's express the ratio of Jeffrey's workout in lowest possible terms possible, which is 1:2. how what we want to do is for the ratio's to have a "LCM" so we can compare them. If we multiply Jeffrey's workout by 17 and Stanley's by 2, we will get this:

Jeffrey's workout ratio: 17:34

Stanley's workout ratio: 22:34

Therefore, Jeffrey has a lower cardio to resistance training.
