Step-by-step explanation:

1:8

we need to turn the one into seven. Turn the ratio 1:8 into the fraction 1/8.

multiply by 7/7 to turn the one into seven and 8 into 56

7/56 can now be turned into ratio 7:56. You could omit the turning of the ratio into the fraction at the beginning, but I find it makes it simpler.
