Answer 1

1. True
2. False
3. False
4. True

Answer 2

1. False

Sketch pads ordered: 10(90/3) = 10×30 = 300

2. True

Painting jars ordered: 8(90/5) = 8×18 = 144

3. True

(25×12)/(12×12) = 300/144

or

25/12 = 300/144 = 2.083..

4. False

Since the previous statement isn't 5:4 and it's true, then this statement is false.
