Kinetic Energy relative to total energy in SHM

[armolinasf]

Homework Statement

(a) When the displacement in SHM is one-half the amplitude A, what fraction of the total energy is kinetic energy? What fraction is potential?

The Attempt at a Solution

I tried finding a ratio of KE/t, where t=KE+PE and PE/t but I got answers that didn't quite make sense how am I going about this the right way? As always thanks for the help

Your statement doesn't actually say how you are going about it?
