Question

on holidays, aaron enjoys making sloppy joes for his friends and family. his secret is to use 5 squirts of ketchup for every 2 squirts of mustard.
complete the table.

ketchup squirts	5	□	20	30

graph the data from the table.

Explanation:

Step1: Find ratio of ketchup to mustard

The ratio is $\frac{\text{Ketchup squirts}}{\text{Mustard squirts}} = \frac{5}{2}$

Step2: Calculate ketchup for 6 mustard squirts

Multiply mustard squirts by the ratio.
$\text{Ketchup} = 6 \times \frac{5}{2} = 15$

Step3: Calculate mustard for 20 ketchup squirts

Divide ketchup squirts by the ratio.
$\text{Mustard} = 20 \div \frac{5}{2} = 20 \times \frac{2}{5} = 8$

Step4: Calculate mustard for 30 ketchup squirts

Divide ketchup squirts by the ratio.
$\text{Mustard} = 30 \div \frac{5}{2} = 30 \times \frac{2}{5} = 12$

Step5: Identify graph axes

Assign mustard squirts to the x-axis, ketchup squirts to the y-axis. Plot points: $(2,5)$, $(6,15)$, $(8,20)$, $(12,30)$

Answer:

Completed Table:

Ketchup squirts	5	15	20	30

Graph: Plot the points (2, 5), (6, 15), (8, 20), (12, 30) on a grid with mustard squirts on the horizontal axis and ketchup squirts on the vertical axis, then draw a straight line through the points.
