Answer 1

Use RGBA instead of hex. using opacity: affects child elements and rgba does not

.rectangle-box {
        width: 200px;
        height: 30px;
        background-color: rgba(128,128,128, 0.3);
        float: right;

    }

    .rectangle-red {
        width: 65px;
        height: 30px;
        background-color: rgba(255,71,66, 1);
      float: left;
    }
