a. fill in the table.
b. what does the value next to 1 mean in this situation?

Explanation:

Step1: Find the value - ratio

We know 16 quarters = 2 toonies, so 1 toonie = 8 quarters.

Step2: Calculate for 1 quarter

If 8 quarters = 1 toonie, then for 1 quarter, the number of toonies is $\frac{1}{8}=0.125$.

Step3: Calculate for 20 quarters

Number of toonies for 20 quarters is $\frac{20}{8} = 2.5$.

Step4: Calculate for 24 quarters

Number of toonies for 24 quarters is $\frac{24}{8}=3$.

Answer:

number of quarters	number of toonies
16	2
20	2.5
24	3

b. The value next to 1 (which is 0.125) means that 1 quarter is equal in value to 0.125 toonies.
