Question

find the missing values in the ratio table. then write the equivalent ratios in the order they appear in the table.
tea (cups) \tmilk (cups)
3.75 \t1.5
□ \t1
□ \t3.5
□ \t2.5

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio constant

First, calculate the ratio of Tea to Milk using the given pair:
$\frac{\text{Tea}}{\text{Milk}} = \frac{3.75}{1.5} = 2.5$
This means Tea = $2.5 \times$ Milk for all equivalent ratios.

Step2: Calculate Tea for Milk=1

Multiply Milk value by 2.5:
$\text{Tea} = 2.5 \times 1 = 2.5$

Step3: Calculate Tea for Milk=3.5

Multiply Milk value by 2.5:
$\text{Tea} = 2.5 \times 3.5 = 8.75$

Step4: Calculate Tea for Milk=2.5

Multiply Milk value by 2.5:
$\text{Tea} = 2.5 \times 2.5 = 6.25$

Step5: List equivalent ratios

Order ratios as (Tea:Milk) from the table:

1. $3.75:1.5$
2. $2.5:1$
3. $8.75:3.5$
4. $6.25:2.5$

Answer:

Missing Tea values (from top to bottom): 2.5, 8.75, 6.25
Equivalent ratios (in order):
$3.75:1.5$
$2.5:1$
$8.75:3.5$
$6.25:2.5$
