Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be an equilateral triangle. NN is a point on the side ACAC such that AC=7AN\vec{AC} = 7\vec{AN}, MM is a point on the side ABAB such that MNMN is parallel to BCBC and PP is a point on the side BCBC such that MPMP is parallel to ACAC. Find the ratio of areas (MNP)(ABC)\frac{ (MNP)}{(ABC)}
