Front

How do you graph a ratio?

Back

To graph a ratio, plot points on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate represents one quantity and the y-coordinate represents the other quantity.

Front

What does it mean to follow a pattern in ratios?

Back

Following a pattern in ratios means identifying a consistent relationship between quantities, allowing predictions about future values based on established ratios.

If 3 seed packs are needed for 30 plants, how many seed packs are needed for 60 plants?

Back

6 seed packs (the ratio is 1 seed pack for every 10 plants).

Front

What is the unit rate?

Back

The unit rate is a ratio that compares a quantity to one unit of another quantity, often used to simplify ratios.

Front

How can you determine the total from a graph showing a ratio?

Back

You can determine the total by analyzing the graph to find the corresponding values for each axis and calculating based on the ratio.

Front

What is a proportional relationship?

Back

A proportional relationship is a relationship between two quantities where the ratio remains constant.

Front

If Taylor can write 50 words every 2 minutes, how many words can he write in 10 minutes?

Back

Front

What is the purpose of a table in representing ratios?

Back

A table helps organize and display the relationship between different quantities, making it easier to identify patterns and ratios.

Front

How do you find the missing value in a ratio?

Back

To find the missing value, set up a proportion based on the known values and solve for the unknown.
