    So, there are 48 states, let's divide them into 16 groups (because 7+9=16)

    48/16=3

    so that means there are 16 groups of 3 states.

    and those groups are in a ratio of 7:9, seven to 9 groups.

    I assume that the 7 refers to the states that border an ocean, then the number of states will be 7*3=21
