Colorful paper art promoting a middle school math quiz on mastering ratio tables.

If the ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3, how many oranges are there when you have 4 apples?
6
8
4
5
The ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3. Doubling the number of apples from 2 to 4 means the oranges must also be doubled from 3 to 6 in order to maintain the proportional relationship.
In a ratio table, if the ratio of pencils to erasers is 5:2 and you have 10 pencils, how many erasers do you have?
4
5
6
8
The ratio indicates that for every 5 pencils there are 2 erasers. When the number of pencils doubles from 5 to 10, the number of erasers must double from 2 to 4.
Which of the following best describes the purpose of a ratio table?
To systematically organize corresponding values
To perform unrelated arithmetic calculations
To randomly list numbers
To obscure numerical relationships
A ratio table organizes related values in a structured format, making it easier to observe proportional relationships. This organization assists in solving problems by applying consistent scaling.
If a ratio table for cats to dogs shows an entry of 9 cats and 12 dogs, what multiplier was used from the base ratio of 3:4?
3
4
6
9
Starting with the base ratio 3:4, multiplying both numbers by 3 results in 9 and 12. This confirms that a multiplier of 3 was applied to generate that row in the ratio table.
Which of the following ratio pairs is equivalent to 2:5?
4:10
3:8
5:7
2:6
Multiplying both parts of the ratio 2:5 by 2 gives 4:10, which is equivalent to the original ratio. This demonstrates the concept of equivalent ratios through scalar multiplication.
A ratio table shows the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles as 3:5. If there are 9 red marbles, how many blue marbles are there?
15
12
18
10
Since the ratio is 3:5, having 9 red marbles means the multiplier is 3 (because 9 divided by 3 equals 3). Multiplying 5 by 3 gives 15 blue marbles.
Consider a ratio table where the relationship between two columns is 2:3. If the table rows include (2, 3), (4, 6), and (6, 9), what should be the first column value when the second column value is 12?
7
8
9
10
The ratio 2:3 implies that the first number is (2/3) of the second number. When the second number is 12, the first number is 12 x (2/3) = 8.
If 2 cups of flour are needed to make 3 cakes, how many cups of flour are required to make 15 cakes?
8
10
12
9
The ratio of flour to cakes is 2:3, so the multiplier for 15 cakes is 15/3 = 5. Multiplying 2 cups by 5 results in 10 cups of flour.
If a ratio table expresses the conversion between miles and kilometers with the ratio 1:1.6, how many kilometers are covered in 5 miles?
7 km
8 km
8.5 km
10 km
Given the conversion ratio of 1 mile to 1.6 kilometers, multiplying 1.6 by 5 results in 8 kilometers. This applies the conversion factor directly.
A ratio table shows that for every 4 students there are 7 books read. How many books are read by 12 students?
18
20
21
24
Since the ratio is 4:7, a group of 12 students represents a multiplier of 12/4 = 3. Thus, the number of books is 7 × 3, which equals 21.
If the base ratio is 5:8, and a row in the ratio table shows 10:16, what is the multiplier applied?
2
3
4
5
Dividing 10 by 5 gives a multiplier of 2, and similarly, 16 divided by 8 also yields 2. This confirms that the ratio has been scaled by a factor of 2.
In a constant ratio table, if the ratio is 1:3, what is the missing value in the second column when the first column is 4?
7
10
12
15
A ratio of 1:3 means the second column is three times the first column. Therefore, when the first value is 4, the second value should be 4 × 3 = 12.
In a cost ratio table, if 2 apples cost $3, how much would 8 apples cost at the same rate?
$8
$10
$12
$14
The ratio implies that 2 apples cost $3, so each group of 2 apples costs $3. For 8 apples, the multiplier is 4 (since 8 ÷ 2 = 4), and 3 × 4 equals $12.
Which ratio is equivalent to 3:4?
6:8
9:11
3:5
4:7
Multiplying both parts of the ratio 3:4 by 2 gives 6:8, which is equivalent to the original ratio. This operation preserves the proportional relationship.
Given a ratio table where each row represents the same proportional relationship of 7:11, what is the missing value when the first column value is 21?
28
33
35
22
The base ratio 7:11 indicates that if the first number is multiplied by 3 (since 7 × 3 = 21), then the second number must also be multiplied by 3, resulting in 11 × 3 = 33.
A ratio table compares the production outputs of Factory X to Factory Y with a ratio of 7:9. If Factory X increases its production from 35 to 49 units, what should be Factory Y's production to maintain the ratio?
63
65
70
72
Originally, 35 units from Factory X imply a multiplier of 35/7 = 5, with Factory Y producing 9 × 5 = 45 units. When Factory X produces 49 units, the multiplier becomes 49/7 = 7, so Factory Y should produce 9 × 7 = 63 units.
A ratio table is being designed with a base ratio of 4:5. If one row uses a multiplier of 4, what are the correct values for that row?
8 and 10
12 and 15
16 and 20
20 and 25
Multiplying the base ratio 4:5 by 4 gives 4 × 4 = 16 and 5 × 4 = 20, which are the correct scaled values for that row in the ratio table.
A ratio table shows distances traveled by a car. If the car travels 60 miles in 1.5 hours, how far will it travel in 4 hours at the same rate?
150 miles
160 miles
180 miles
200 miles
First, determine the speed by dividing 60 miles by 1.5 hours, which gives 40 miles per hour. Multiplying 40 mph by 4 hours results in 160 miles traveled.
In a ratio table depicting a recipe, the intended ratio of sugar to flour is 1:4. If a row mistakenly shows 3 cups of sugar and 14 cups of flour, what is the error?
The milk quantity is incorrect
The sugar measurement is off
The flour value is incorrect
The egg quantity is missing
With the intended ratio of 1:4, 3 cups of sugar should correspond to 3 × 4 = 12 cups of flour. The table shows 14 cups, indicating that the flour value is miscalculated.
A ratio table is meant to maintain the ratio 2:5. If one row shows values 10 and 27 due to a mistake, what should the second number have been?
20
22
25
27
To maintain the ratio 2:5, when the first value is 10 (which is 5 times 2), the correct second value should be 5 times 5, resulting in 25. The provided value of 27 indicates an error.
