Ratio Table

Tables of equivalent ratios are called ratio tables. Consider the ratio table containing the distance Zain runs and the time it takes him to cover that distance.

Distance Run (Miles) 1 2 3 4
Time (Minutes) 10 20 30 40

The ratios 110, 220, 330, and 440 are equivalent since each of them simplifies to a ratio of 110. A ratio table can be created by multiplying or dividing each quantity in a ratio by the same number, or by repeatedly adding or subtracting the ratio.

Four ways to produce ratio tables.
