I can't make sense about what you have written. This is my guess for the first.
6/15?
14/35?
Thank you that's what I also came up with. The 2nd one I came up with.
First one done 7,3
2nd I got 35,15
3rd line 14,6
Looks fine to me.
To complete the ratio tables for Peacock Purple and Purple Plum, we need to find the missing values based on the given ratios.
Peacock Purple:
The given ratios are:
2:5 = 14:?
15:? = ?:
We can solve these ratios by setting up proportions and cross-multiplying:
2/5 = 14/x
Cross-multiplying gives: 2x = 14*5 = 70
Dividing both sides by 2: x = 70/2 = 35
So the missing values in the ratio table for Peacock Purple are:
2:5 = 14:35
15:35 = 42:?
We can solve this second equation by cross-multiplying again:
15/35 = 42/x
Cross-multiplying gives: 15x = 42*35 = 1470
Dividing both sides by 15: x = 1470/15 = 98
Therefore, the completed ratio table for Peacock Purple is:
2:5 = 14:35
15:35 = 42:98
Purple Plum:
The given ratios are:
7:3 = ?:15
14:? = ?:15
We can solve these ratios by setting up proportions and cross-multiplying:
7/x = 3/15
Cross-multiplying gives: 3x = 7*15 = 105
Dividing both sides by 3: x = 105/3 = 35
So the missing value in the first row of the ratio table for Purple Plum is:
7:3 = 35:15
To find the missing value in the second row, we can use the same value since it represents the same ratio:
14:35 = 105:15
Therefore, the completed ratio table for Purple Plum is:
7:3 = 35:15
14:35 = 105:15
