Ramon, thanks for asking. The key for this kind of problem (fractions and ratios) is to express the denominator and numerator using a common variable, so that we can cancel the common variable and get a numerical answer (which is what the choices are). Since we are given hints that a and both can be expressed in c, we should do the substitutions to express a and d in terms of c. That's what the step by step video creator was trying to do. I hope this helps and don't hesitate to ask again if you are still confused.
