A. 14.0
B. 37.5
C. 70.5
D. 87.5

Answer 1

All you need to do is look at the inches and multiply that by 35. So 2.5*35= 87.5. So the answer is D. 
Since one inch is 35 all you have to do is multiply and that will include that .5 also.

Or, You could multiply 35*2= 70, then find half of 35 which is 17.5 and add that which also gets you D

Answer 2

This should be a simple "find the missing denominator equation"
Note: What you do to one side you must do on the other
  1  x 2.5 = 2.5
---            --------
35 x 2.5 = 87.5

87.5 is your answer
