1. Solving Ratio Problems using Ratio Tables

2. Definition A ratio table is a tool used to organize equivalent ratios.

3. Visual – Horizontal Ratio Table

4. Visual – Vertical Ratio Table

5. Example #1:
You can walk 6 miles in 2 hours.
Make a table of equivalent ratios to show how far you can walk in hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, and
10 hours.

6. Example #1:
Distance in Miles
Time in Hours 6 2

7. A party planner said that 3 pizzas will serve about 7 people.
Example #2:
A party planner said that 3 pizzas will serve about 7 people.
How many pizzas are needed for 350 people?
Use a ratio table to solve this problem.

8. Example #2:
Number of Pizzas
Number of People 3 7

9. Example #3:
If there are 1,600 calories in 8 oz. of hot fudge, how many calories are in 3 oz. of hot fudge?

10. Example #3:
Calories
Ounces
1,600 8

11. Reflection
How is solving a ratio problem using a ratio table similar to using a double number line? How is it different?
