H stands for Houses 

F stands for Flats  

B stands for Bungalows  

 

F:B is 8:

B is 50

F:B is F:50  so   F = 80  

 

H:F is 7:4  

F is 80

H:F is H:80  so   H = 140

H/F  *  F/B   = H/B  = 7/4 * 8/5 = 56/20 = 14/5

 

so  H/B = 14/5     if B= 50

      H/50  = 14/5      H = 50 (14/5) = 140 houses
