1. **Problem 7:** You save 90 every 2 weeks. How long to save 450?
2. Use the formula: Total saved = (Amount saved per period) \times (Number of periods).
3. Let $n$ be the number of 2-week periods needed. Then:
$$90 \times n = 450$$
4. Solve for $n$:
$$n = \frac{450}{90} = 5$$
5. Since each period is 2 weeks, total weeks:
$$5 \times 2 = 10$$
6. **Answer:** 10 weeks.
7. **Problem 8:** You need 4 red tiles for every 3 blue tiles. You have 360 blue tiles. How many red tiles?
8. Use the ratio formula:
$$\frac{\text{red}}{\text{blue}} = \frac{4}{3}$$
9. Let $r$ be the number of red tiles. Then:
$$\frac{r}{360} = \frac{4}{3}$$
10. Solve for $r$:
$$r = 360 \times \frac{4}{3}$$
11. Simplify:
$$r = 360 \times \cancel{\frac{4}{3}} = 360 \times \frac{4}{3}$$
12. Calculate:
$$r = 360 \times \frac{4}{3} = 120 \times 4 = 480$$
13. **Answer:** 480 red tiles.
