Graphing Ratio Tables
Consider this problem… You can make 1 cake in 2 hours. Make a table of equivalent ratios to show how long it will take you to make 2 cakes, 3 cakes, 4 cakes, and 5 cakes.
Cakes Time in Hours 1 2 4 3 6 8 5 10
1 2 4 3 6 8 5 10 Graph this on a coordinate plane. (x, y) x y (1, 2) Cakes Time in Hours 1 2 4 3 6 8 5 10 (1, 2) (2, 4) (3, 6) (4, 8) (5, 10)
Hours Cakes
In a bag of blue and yellow candies, the ratio of blue candies to yellow candies is 3:5. Make a table of equivalent ratios to show the number of yellow candies when blue is 6, 9, and 12.
Graph this on a coordinate plane. Blue Yellow
Yellow Candy Blue Candy
Reflection: What do you notice when you graph each of the equivalent ratios on the coordinate plane?
