Answer 1

This is a ratio problem, so in problem one with starting ratio 50:15, can be multiplied on both sides to become 2,000:600, so the answer to problem one is 600.
2) In this problem the starting ration is 60:12 again this problem can just be multiplied by 13 and 1/3 on both sides to become 800:160.

Answer 2

1 is c
2 is b
