8 15 17 i think no clue really
If the ratio is 4:3 divide the larger can by 4 which in a) is 25 then multiply by 3 to get surface area of smaller can which would be 75 square inches.
In part b) do the same so 150 divided by 4 is 37.5 multiplied by 3 is 112.5 cubic inches.
It doesn't matter if it is surface area or volume you still use the same ratio of 4:3
We need to figure out how many more cans they need to bring. We figure this out by subtracting 403 from 1,000, which gives us 596 more cans. We now divide 596/28, to find how many each student would need to bring. This equals 21.3. You might want to mention that each student can't bring .3 of a can, so the answer could be 22 also.
I think for this one, B seems the most right :)
