if a hockey player has a ratio of goals scored 9:2 and they have a 50 shot season, how many shots did the hockey player take?

Your information answers itself, he took 50 shots.

Of those 50 shots, he scored goals in the ratio of 9:2.

For every 11 shots he made 9.

So he scored

$${\mathtt{50}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{9}}}{{\mathtt{11}}}}\right) = {\mathtt{41}}$$
