Question

Draw a model to represent the ratio 1 to 3. Describe how to use the model to find an equivalent ratio. Please help I'm really stuck.

Answer 1

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a table with first set of numbers as 1,3. Multiply both the numbers of this set sequentially by natural numbers to get the following table

1   2  3  4    5    6     7    8     9      10......

3  6  9  12  15    18   21   24   27    30......

We see that in each set of numbers the 2nd number is 3 times the first number.

If we plot these sets of numbers on a graph paper, we get a model depicting all the points which satisfy this ration requirement.
