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 can you write a ratio?

Back

You can write a ratio in three ways: using a colon (a:b), as a fraction (a/b), or with the word 'to' (a to b).

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

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical line in a coordinate plane that represents the dependent variable.

Front

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

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal line in a coordinate plane that represents the independent variable.

Front

How do you find equivalent ratios?

Back

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

Front

What is a ratio table?

Back

A ratio table is a table that displays pairs of numbers that form equivalent ratios.

Front

How do you plot a point on a graph?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin (0,0), move along the X-axis to the X-coordinate, and then move vertically to the Y-coordinate.

Front

What is the purpose of a graph?

Back

A graph visually represents data, making it easier to see relationships and trends between variables.

Front

What is the relationship between ratios and fractions?

Back

Ratios can be expressed as fractions, where the first number is the numerator and the second number is the denominator.
