Answer 1

We need to know in descending or ascending order, which witch spent more than any of the products. To obtain the list, let's see the premises that they give us and order it so that the number "1" is the one that spends the most and the "4", the least.

So, the order is:

• 1) Ethel
• 2) Locasta
• 3) Circe
• 4) Glinda

Now we must order the products ascending in relation to which is spent more. This is done by matching the denominators.

1. 1/4 of the bat blood left
2. 1/3 of the knotgrass
3. 1/2 of the moonstone
4. 5/8 of the unicorn hair

Finally, witches and ingredients have been found according to their numbers.
