what do i put in the blank spaces?

1 answer

To fill in the blank spaces in the two-column table, you need to find the equivalent ratios in relation to the given ratios.

To find the equivalent ratios, you can use cross-multiplication.

First, let's find the equivalent ratio for "14: --" in terms of cups of sugar.

Using cross-multiplication:
2 / 1 = 14 / x

This can be simplified to:
2x = 14

Solving for x:
x = 14 / 2
x = 7

So, the equivalent ratio for "14: --" is "14: 7".

Now, let's find the equivalent ratio for "--: 9" in terms of cups of flour.

Using cross-multiplication:
2 / 1 = x / 9

This can be simplified to:
2 * 9 = x

Solving for x:
x = 18

So, the equivalent ratio for "--: 9" is "18: 9".

Therefore, the completed two-column table would be:

cups of flour | cups of sugar
2:1 | 2:1
14:-- | 14:7
--:9 | 18:9
20:10 | 20:10
