Writing and solving an equation of two ratios would be one of the easier ways to solve this problem.

56 photos          x
-------------- = ------------
  7 min            27 min

x is found as follows:  (56 photos)(27 minutes) = (7 min)(x)

Divide both sides by (7 min) to get the answer, x, which is measured in "photos."
