for the 2nd problem: I did r2 for both

so 9:36 which is 1:4

so 10 crepes : 40 crepes

10 crepes * r1^2*pi=x crepes *r2^2*pi

10*6^2*pi=x*3^2*pi

10*36*pi=x*9*pi

x=40

IMO- C is the correct answer

In general, as you suggested, we should use the volume. However, the question states that "the new pancakes are with the same thickness" so author wants to say that you should ignore the "depth" of the crepes and thus consider them as 2 dimensional rather than 3 dimensional objects
