What is a ratio table?

Back

A ratio table is a tool used to organize and compare ratios in a systematic way, showing equivalent ratios in a tabular format.

Front

How do you find equivalent ratios using a ratio table?

Back

To find equivalent ratios, you can multiply or divide both terms of a ratio by the same non-zero number.

Front

What does the term 'proportion' mean in relation to ratios?

Back

A proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are equal.

Front

If A = 84 and B = 70, what is the ratio of A to B?

Back

The ratio of A to B is 84:70, which can be simplified to 12:10 or 6:5.

Front

How can you solve for an unknown in a ratio table?

Back

You can solve for an unknown by setting up a proportion based on the known ratios and cross-multiplying to find the missing value.

Front

What is the value of B if A = 80 and the ratio of A to B is 8:7?

Back

If A = 80 and the ratio is 8:7, then B = (7/8) * 80 = 70.

Front

What is the significance of maintaining equivalent ratios in a ratio table?

Back

Maintaining equivalent ratios ensures that the relationships between the quantities remain consistent, which is essential for accurate calculations.

Front

How do you convert a ratio into a fraction?

Back

To convert a ratio into a fraction, you can write the first term as the numerator and the second term as the denominator.

Front

What is the relationship between ratios and rates?

Back

A rate is a specific type of ratio that compares two quantities with different units, such as miles per hour.

Front

If B = 10 in a ratio table where A = 84, what is the ratio of A to B?

Back

The ratio of A to B is 84:10, which can be simplified to 42:5.
