Ratio Tables, Equivalent Ratios, and Graphs

Front

What is a ratio?

Back

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities, showing how many times one value contains or is contained within the other.

Front

What is an equivalent ratio?

Back

Equivalent ratios are ratios that express the same relationship between two quantities, even if the numbers are different.

Front

How do you simplify a ratio?

Back

To simplify a ratio, divide both terms by their greatest common factor (GCF).

Front

What is a ratio table?

Back

A ratio table is a table that shows equivalent ratios in a structured format, helping to visualize the relationship between quantities.

Front

What does the X-axis represent in a coordinate plane?

Back

The X-axis represents the horizontal line in a coordinate plane, where the value of X is plotted.

Front

What does the Y-axis represent in a coordinate plane?

Back

The Y-axis represents the vertical line in a coordinate plane, where the value of Y is plotted.

Front

How do you find an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is found by identifying the X and Y coordinates of a point on a graph, written in the form (X, Y).

Front

What is the purpose of a graph in representing ratios?

Back

A graph visually represents the relationship between two quantities, making it easier to see trends and patterns.

Front

If the ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3, how many oranges are there if there are 8 apples?

Back

There are 12 oranges. (2 apples corresponds to 3 oranges, so 8 apples corresponds to 12 oranges.)

Front

What is the first step in creating a ratio table?

Back

The first step is to identify the two quantities you want to compare and write them in a table format.
