You should study the text before trying to solve the questions.

Coursework and homework questions belong in the Homework Help forums, which is where I'm moving this thread now. It's also a set of math questions, not philosophy & social science.

These are not technically math questions. These regard the reserve ratios banks must keep at the Fed and the amount of money the banking system can lend against those said reserves. That is if I am reading these questions correctly. If the reserve ratio is 10% then for every dollar the banks lend they must have 10 cents stored at the FED to back that note up.
