I will do part b first

2.5 hrs * 45 miles /hr = 112.5 miles
since it is a round trip divide by 2 to get 56.25 miles
answer d fits best

part a

answer c

1/4 don't watch sports (1-3/4)
if 1/5 of the remainder are men then 1-1/5 or 4/5 are women who don't watch sports and this group is 4/5 *1/4= 1/5 of the original group.

Part 1 - Answer is C) 1/5

3/4 members like sports
remaining = 1/4 members who do not like sports
1/5 of remaining are men who do not like sports
therefore 4/5 of remaining are women who do not like sports
=4/5 of 1/4 = 4/20 = 1/5

Part 2 - answer is ?

roundtrip distance = 2.5 hours x 45 mph = 112.5 miles
distance from cousin house = one half of round tript
= .5 x 112.5 = 56.25 miles

let x be the number of total people in that club

3/4 of x likes to watch sports. 3x/4

x - 3x//4 = x/4 remaining

1/5 of (x/4) are man
1/5 * x/4 = x/20 are man who do not like to watch sports

and 4/5 of x/4 are the number of woman who do not like to watch sports
4/5 * x/4 = x/5

(x/5) / x = (x/5) * x = 1/5

the answer is C

let t be the time it takes her to go to Keren's house then 2.5 - t is the time it takes her to return

distance = speed * time

d = 45t
d = 45(2.5 - t)

45t = 45(2.5 - t)
45t = 112.5 - 45t
90t = 112.5
t = 1.25

d = 45(1.25)
d = 56.25 miles

the right answer is not on the list


EDIT:
Pretty much the same concept. Let t be the time it takes her to go to Keren's house. The total time is 2.5 hrs, that means 2.5 - t is the time it takes her to return

distance to Keren's house
d = 45t

distance on traveling back
d = 30(2.5 - t)

45t = 30(2.5 - t)
45t = 75 - 30t
75t = 75
t = 1hr

to find the distance just plug 1 in for t
d = 45t
d = (45)(1)
d = 45 miles

the answer is C

1. c
3/4 = 75% 1/5 of the remaining 1/4 = (1/20) or 5% so we have 80% the remaining 20% = 1/5
2. b 2.5 * 45 = 112.5 total miles she drove, 112.5/2 = 56.25 are you supposed to be rounding?
