Unit 2 ● Lesson 11

● If I am looking at a table of

values, I will know where the
rows are and where the columns
are.

● When I see a table representing a

set of equivalent ratios, I will be
able to come up with numbers to
make a new row.

● When I see a table representing a

set of equivalent ratios, I will be
able to explain what the
numbers mean.

Some tables are simple and we can simply find the number of
increase or decrease for each COLUMN. Example:

A recipe for trail mix says: “Mix 7 ounces of
almonds with 5 ounces of raisins.” Here is a
table that has been started to show how
many ounces of almonds and raisins would
be in different-sized batches of this trail
mix.

1.

Complete the table so that ratios
represented by each row are
equivalent.

2.

What methods did you use to fill in the
table?

3.

How do you know that each row shows
a ratio that is equivalent to 7 : 5?
Explain your reasoning.

● When might it be easier to use a table versus a

double number line diagram to represent equivalent
ratios?

● If you know one ratio in a table row, how do you find

equivalent ratios for other rows in the table?

In previous lessons, we worked with a diagram and a double
number line that represent this cookie recipe. Here is a table
that represents the same situation.

1.

Write a sentence that describes a ratio shown in the table.

2.

What does the second row of numbers represent?

3.

Complete the last row for a different batch size that hasn’t
been used so far in the table. Explain or show your
reasoning.

table

A table organizes information into
horizontal rows and vertical
columns. The first row or column
usually tells what the numbers
represent.

For example, here is a table
showing the tail lengths of three
different pets. This table has four
rows and two columns.
