Thank you Brainfart,
Below the solution of the homework :
A)
10g of epoxy need 3g of hardener.
50g of epoxy need 15g of hardener.
80g of epoxy need 24g of hardener.
220g of epoxy need 66g of hardener.
Therefore you can multiply the amount of epoxy resin by 0.3 to get the ratio of hardener.
B)For 66g of hardener you need amount of 220g of epoxy.
Therefore you can divided by 0.3.
C)For 286g of mixed resin you need 66g of hardener.
