Amanda--What don't you understand about the question? These are single replacement reactions which makes them easy to predict the products and determining oxidation states is just a matter of following the rules.
I figured out the products of the reactions i am just having trouble figuring out the oxidation states
Here is a good site for the rules for determining oxidation state. I'll me glad to check your assignment.
