Given:
total = 750
ratio = 7 : 8
We need to get the ratio of the number to its total
7 + 8 = 15 ; 7/15 and 8/15 is the ratio of the number to its total.
We multiply these ratio to the total of 750
7/15 * 750 = 350
8/15 * 750 = 400
7:8 is equal to 350:400
Last year He was 7 years old.
His father is 4 times the age 7 x 4 = 28
Last year his dad was 28, so this year he is 29.
Combined age this year = 29 + 8 = 37
51 - 37 = 14 years
14/ 2 people = 7 years
8 + 7 = 15
29 + 7 = 36
15 + 36 = 51
It will take 7 years.
2×9= 18
18÷9= 2
Answer: 2 cups of fruit punch.

Explanation: so, you divide. why do I know this? because it doesn't say "times," (multiplication word) "more than," (addition word) "less than/ left over." (subtraction word) so what your looking for is "equally," and "each."
So, can you do 2÷9? no, you cant. so you have to multiply 2×9 to get the answer. and what's the answer? 18!
so, now, can you divide 18÷9? yes!! why? because you can only divide big numbers like 18. and you can't divide small numbers like 2 or 9. do you get what I'm saying?
so, what's 18÷9? 2!!
I hope this helps! :) if you still don't understand it just please let me know :)
