From the given table, we can see that the ratio of x to y remains constant as it progresses.
For the first row, we have x = 0.5 and y = 0.4. The equivalent ratio is 0.5/0.4 = 1.25.
For the second row, we have x = 2 and y = 1.6. The equivalent ratio is 2/1.6 = 1.25.
For the third row, we have x = a and y = 4.8. The equivalent ratio is a/4.8 = 1.25.
For the fourth row, we have x = 12 and y = 9.6. The equivalent ratio is 12/9.6 = 1.25.
For the fifth row, we have x = 15 and y = b. The equivalent ratio is 15/b = 1.25.
Since the ratio of x to y is constant in each row and it is equal to 1.25, we can solve for a and b by setting up and solving the following equations:
a/4.8 = 1.25
a = 1.25 * 4.8
a = 6
15/b = 1.25
15 = 1.25 * b
b = 15 / 1.25
b = 12
Therefore, the values of a and b are a = 6 and b = 12. So, the correct response is a = 6, b = 12.
Question
This table represents equivalent ratios.
What are the values of a and b?
Responses
a = 6 , b = 12
a, = 6 , , b, = 12
a = 8 , b = 12
a, = 8 , , b, = 12
a = 6 , b = 15
a, = 6 , , b, = 15
