What is a ratio?

Back

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities that shows the relative size of one quantity to another, often expressed as 'a to b' or a:b.

How do you create a ratio table?

Back

A ratio table is created by listing pairs of equivalent ratios in a table format, showing how one quantity changes in relation to another.

Front

What does a graph represent in relation to ratios?

Back

A graph visually represents the relationship between two quantities, showing how one quantity changes as the other changes, often using ordered pairs.

Front

What is the purpose of using a ratio table?

Back

A ratio table helps to organize and visualize the relationships between different quantities, making it easier to solve problems involving ratios.

Front

How do you find the missing number in a ratio table?

Back

To find the missing number, use the known ratios to set up a proportion and solve for the unknown value.

Front

What is the lowest terms of a ratio?

Back

The lowest terms of a ratio are the simplest form of the ratio, where the numbers have no common factors other than 1.

Front

How do you interpret a graph of a ratio?

Back

To interpret a graph of a ratio, look at the axes to understand what each represents, and analyze the slope and points to determine the relationship.

Front

What is a proportional relationship?

Back

A proportional relationship is a relationship where two quantities maintain a constant ratio or rate.

Front

How can you determine if two ratios are equivalent?

Back

Two ratios are equivalent if they can be simplified to the same lowest terms or if their cross products are equal.

Front

What does it mean when a graph is linear?

Back

A linear graph indicates a constant rate of change between the two quantities, represented by a straight line.
