There are 5 females for every 6 males in math class. Make a ratio table to determine how many females there would be in the class if there are 18 males.

Answer 1

To create a ratio table to determine how many females there would be in the class if there are 18 males, we will maintain the ratio of females to males, which is 5 females for every 6 males.

We can set up a table with the number of males and the corresponding number of females:

| Males | Females |
|-------|---------|
| 6 | 5 |
| 12 | 10 |
| 18 | 15 |

### Explanation of the table:

1. **Original Ratio**: 6 males to 5 females.
2. **Scaling the Values**: To find how many females correspond to 18 males, we can follow the pattern:
- If 6 males correspond to 5 females,
- Then 12 males correspond to 10 females (doubling both).
- Finally, for 18 males, we can see the pattern indicates there would be 15 females.

### Conclusion:
If there are 18 males in the class, there would be **15 females**.
