Using Tables to Explore 7 -2 Equivalent Ratios and Rates Use a table to find ratios equivalent to 3 to 2. Original 3 Ratio • 2 3 • 3 3 • 4 Pints of yellow 3 6 9 12 Pints of blue 2 4 6 8 2 • 2 2 • 3 2 • 4 You can increase amounts but keep them in the same ratio by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of the ratio by the same number. The ratios 3 to 2, 6 to 4, 9 to 6, and 12 to 8 are equivalent. You can also decrease amounts in the same ratio by dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number.

Using Tables to Explore 7 -2 Equivalent Ratios and Rates Additional Example 2: Application Several groups of friends are going to take a shuttle bus to the park. The table shows how much the different groups will pay in all. Predict how much a group of 15 friends will pay. Number in Group Bus Fare($) 6 12 12 24 18 36 12< 15 < 18; therefore, the group will pay between $24 and $36.
Using Tables to Explore 7 -2 Equivalent Ratios and Rates Additional Example 2 Continued Number in Group Bus Fare($) 6 12 12 24 18 36 Use the amount paid by the group of 6. Divide the bus fare by the number 12 ÷ 6 = 2 in each group to find the amount paid person. 2 • 15 = 30 Multiply. A group of 15 friends will pay $30 in bus fare.
