Answer 1

#1 - correct , all you had to do is multipy 1 1/4 by 3 ,
sinc 9 helpings = 3 x 3servings

#2
5 cm <----> 1500 ft
1 cm < ----> 500 ft, that is a scale
#3, no need to convert, if you use the same units in each fraction
2.5/4.25 = 50/x
2.5x = 212.5
x = 212.5/2.5 = 85
so it was 85 ft

#4, don't add them up
yellow/blue = 3/15 = x/25
3/15 = x/25
15x = 75
x = 5 ---> there were 5 yellow

check: yellow/blue = 5/25 = 1/5
and the original = 3/15 = 1/5
