the table shows the number of apples mr.wu needs for different serving sizes of apple crisp
apples servings
3 5
6 10
9 15
12 20
plot each ordered pair in the coordinate plane to show the ratio of apples to servings
(3, 5), (6, 10), (9, 15), (12, 20)
The plot would show a straight line with a slope of 5/3 passing through the points (3, 5), (6, 10), (9, 15), and (12, 20).
which ordered pair shows an equivalent ratio of apples to serving sizes?
(18,35)
(25,15)
(15,25)
(15,30)
To find the equivalent ratio, we need to simplify the fractions for each ordered pair.
1. (18, 35): the ratio is 18/35 which cannot be simplified, so this is not an equivalent ratio.
2. (25, 15): the ratio is 25/15 = 5/3 which is the same as the original ratio of 3/5, so this is an equivalent ratio.
3. (15, 25): the ratio is 15/25 = 3/5 which is the same as the original ratio of 3/5, so this is an equivalent ratio.
4. (15, 30): the ratio is 15/30 = 1/2 which is not equivalent to the original ratio of 3/5.
Therefore, the ordered pair (25, 15) and (15, 25) show equivalent ratios of apples to serving sizes.
