Complete the ratio table.

Solution

To solve the ratio table, let's first observe the given ratios:

5463,7284,7891\frac{54}{63}, \frac{72}{84}, \frac{78}{91}

We can reduce these ratios to their simplest forms:

  1. 5463\frac{54}{63} simplifies by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 9: 5463=67\frac{54}{63} = \frac{6}{7}

  2. 7284\frac{72}{84} simplifies by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 12: 7284=67\frac{72}{84} = \frac{6}{7}

  3. 7891\frac{78}{91} simplifies by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 13: 7891=67\frac{78}{91} = \frac{6}{7}

All these simplified ratios are equal to 67\frac{6}{7}, which means that the constant ratio is 67\frac{6}{7}.

Now, to find the missing values:

  1. In the first row, we know that the ratio is also 67\frac{6}{7}, so if the second column is 7, the corresponding first column value must be 6: Missing value7=67    Missing value=6\frac{\text{Missing value}}{7} = \frac{6}{7} \implies \text{Missing value} = 6

  2. In the second row, where the second column is 14, we can similarly apply the same ratio: Missing value14=67    Missing value=12\frac{\text{Missing value}}{14} = \frac{6}{7} \implies \text{Missing value} = 12

So, the completed table is:

\hline 6 & 7 \\ 12 & 14 \\ 54 & 63 \\ 72 & 84 \\ 78 & 91 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ Would you like further explanation or have any questions? Here are 5 related questions to deepen understanding: 1. How can you use cross-multiplication to verify if two ratios are equivalent? 2. What happens to the ratio if you multiply both terms by the same number? 3. How do you simplify ratios with larger numbers? 4. Can you create a ratio table for $$\frac{5}{8}$$? 5. Why is it important to simplify ratios when solving problems? **Tip:** Always check if a ratio can be simplified by dividing both terms by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
