Assuming you are developing in Rails then the convention would be for the models to be Task and Entry, with the controllers tasks_controller and entries_controller.
If I have understood the problem correctly I think the first thing I would do is provide a method in model Task called duration that returns the total duration for that task by summing task.entries.time. Then all you need to pass to the report view is @tasks containing the tasks you are interested in and for each one task.duration is available to be displayed as desired.
