Question

The table shows the ratio between the number of books ordered and their cost: Number of Books Cost (dollars) 7 21 8 24 9 27 Find equivalent ratios when the number of books ordered is 1, 2, and 3. Write them as ordered pairs in the form (x-coordinate, y-coordinate). Starting from the origin, explain how to plot the three equivalent ratios on a coordinate grid. (10 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

  (1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing the first given ratio by 7 gives ...

  7/7 : 21/7 = 1 : 3

Multiplying this by 2 and 3 gives the other ratios you want.

  = 2(1) : 2(3) = 2 : 6

  = 3(1) : 3(3) = 3 : 9

The equivalent ratios are (1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9).
