Representing Ratios with Tables

Student Summary

A table is a way to organize information. Each horizontal set of entries is called a row, and each vertical set of entries is called a column. (The table shown has 2 columns and 5 rows.) A table can be used to represent a collection of equivalent ratios.

Here is a double number line diagram and a table that both represent the situation: “The price is $2 for every 3 mangos.”

A double number line with 6 evenly spaced tick marks: For "price in dollars" the numbers 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 are indicated. For "number of mangos" the numbers 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 are indicated.

<p>2-column table, 5 rows of data. First column labeled "price in dollars,” second column labeled "number of mangos." The data is as follows: Row 1: 2, 3 Row 2: 4, 6 Row 3: 6, 9 Row 4: 8, 12 Row 5: 10, 15.</p>
