56 glue bottles becuase if classroom had eighty glue sticks and the ratio of glue sticks to glue bottles was 10 to 7 and for 10 glue sticks their are 7 glue bottles and their was 80 glue sticks so their would be 56 glue bottles becuase you have to find glue bottles if their was 80 glue sticks.

80/10 = 8

8 *7 = 56
