Lesson Summary
Ratio tables organize pairs of numbers that share the same ratio, making it easy to find missing values.
Explanation
A ratio table is a chart that lists pairs of numbers in the same ratio. You fill it in by multiplying or dividing both values by the same number. For example, if the ratio of lemonade mix to water is 2:6, your table might show 2 and 6, 4 and 12, 6 and 18, and so on. Ratio tables help you scale quantities up or down while keeping the relationship the same. They are especially useful when doubling a recipe or converting measurements.
Practice Questions

Q2: A ratio table shows 4 and 12 in the first row. What is the ratio in simplest form?
Answer: 1:3 (divide both by 4).
Q3: Using the ratio 2:7, what value pairs with 8?
