Answer:

  • 60
  • 18

Explanation:

The ratios are all 3 father steps to 5 son steps. Then ...

son-steps = 5/3·father steps

son-steps = 5/3·36 = 60

and

father-steps = 3/5·son-steps

father-steps = 3/5·30 = 18

___

As a check, you can realize that the numbers in the first blank, 36:60, are double those in the second blank, 18:30. The first of these, 36:60, is 3 times the row underneath it, 12:20.
