A ratio table is a structured list of equivalent (equal value) ratios that helps us understand the relationship between the ratios and the numbers. Rates, like your heartbeat, are a special kind of ratio, where the two compared numbers have different units. Let's look at some examples of ratio table problems.
What is a ratio table?
Learn how to fill out tables of equivalent ratios. A ratio table gives a bunch of equivalent ratios. Let's look at an example where we'll build a ratio table. Let's practice! Martha needs strawberries for every smoothies she makes.
What is a ratio?
• Students understand that a ratio is often used to describe the relationship between the amount of one quantity and the amount of another quantity as in the cases of mixtures or constant rates. • Students understand that a ratio table is a table of equivalent ratios. Students use ratio tables to solve problems.
How do students use ratio tables to solve problems?
Students use ratio tables to solve problems. A ratio table is a table of pairs of numbers that form equivalent ratios. To make Paper Mache, the art teacher mixes water and flour. For every two cups of water, she needs to mix in three cups of flour to make the paste.

So again we have our X and our Y.
What are ratio tables used for?
Ratio tables show equivalent ratios between two quantities. You can create a ratio table by multiplying (or dividing) both quantities in the ratio by the same value to find an equivalent ratio. A ratio table can help you find equivalent ratios in order to solve problems.
What is a equivalent ratio?
Equivalent ratios are the ratios that are the same when we compare them. Two or more ratios can be compared with each other to check whether they are equivalent or not. For example, 1:2 and 2:4 are equivalent ratios.
What is the definition of a ratio table?
A ratio table is a structured list of equivalent (equal value) ratios that helps us understand the relationship between the ratios and the numbers. Rates, like your heartbeat, are a special kind of ratio, where the two compared numbers have different units.
Formulas and Definitions for Equivalent Ratios
Equivalent Ratio: Equivalent ratios that have the same value when simplified, just like equivalent fractions.
