Let’s solve each part of the worksheet step by step.
---
## Part 1: Equivalent Ratios — Tables
We need to find missing values in tables so that each column represents an equivalent ratio (i.e., the top number divided by the bottom number is constant in each table).
---
```
? ? 20 10
90 48 60 ?
```
Find the ratio: Look at column 3 → 20 / 60 = 1/3
So, every top number is 1/3 of the bottom number.
- Column 1: top = 90 × (1/3) = 30
- Column 2: top = 48 × (1/3) = 16
- Column 4: top = 10 → bottom = 10 ÷ (1/3) = 30
✔ Completed Table 1:
```
30 16 20 10
90 48 60 30
```
---
```
4 ? ? 5
24 18 60 ?
```
Ratio: 4 / 24 = 1/6
Check: 18 × (1/6) = 3 → so top should be 3
60 × (1/6) = 10
5 → bottom = 5 ÷ (1/6) = 30
✔ Completed Table 2:
```
4 3 10 5
24 18 60 30
```
---
```
? 40 9 ?
50 ? 90 300
```
Use column 3: 9 / 90 = 1/10
So top = 1/10 × bottom
- Column 1: top = 50 × (1/10) = 5
- Column 2: bottom = 40 ÷ (1/10) = 400
- Column 4: top = 300 × (1/10) = 30
✔ Completed Table 3:
```
5 40 9 30
50 400 90 300
```
---
```
6 20 ? 10
? 60 42 ?
```
Use column 2: 20 / 60 = 1/3
So top = 1/3 × bottom
- Column 1: bottom = 6 ÷ (1/3) = 18
- Column 3: top = 42 × (1/3) = 14
- Column 4: bottom = 10 ÷ (1/3) = 30
✔ Completed Table 4:
```
6 20 14 10
18 60 42 30
```

## Part 2: Tape Diagrams — Word Problems
---
> Sold 312 shirts. Ratio short sleeve : long sleeve = 2:6. How many short sleeve shirts?
Simplify ratio: 2:6 = 1:3
Total parts = 1 + 3 = 4 parts
Each part = 312 ÷ 4 = 78
Short sleeve = 1 part = 78 shirts
✔ Answer: 78 short sleeve shirts
*(Tape diagram: Short = 1 box, Long = 3 boxes, total 4 boxes = 312 → each box = 78)*
---
> Sold 830 shakes. Chocolate : Vanilla = 6:4 → simplify to 3:2
Total parts = 3 + 2 = 5 parts
Each part = 830 ÷ 5 = 166
Chocolate = 3 parts = 3 × 166 = 498
✔ Answer: 498 chocolate shakes
*(Tape diagram: Chocolate = 3 boxes, Vanilla = 2 boxes, total 5 boxes = 830 → each box = 166)*
---
## Part 3: Double Number Lines — Word Problems
---
> Ratio boys : girls = 4:5. There are 8 boys. How many girls?
Set up proportion:
4 boys → 5 girls
8 boys → ? girls
Since 8 is 2×4, multiply girls by 2 → 5 × 2 = 10 girls
✔ Answer: 10 girls
*(Double number line: Boys: 4 → 8; Girls: 5 → 10)*
---
> For every 9 boxes sold, earn 4 points. If you sell 72 boxes, how many points?
72 ÷ 9 = 8 groups
Each group gives 4 points → 8 × 4 = 32 points
✔ Answer: 32 points
*(Double number line: Boxes: 9 → 18 → 27 → ... → 72; Points: 4 → 8 → 12 → ... → 32)*
---
> 10 bags cost $9. Want 50 bags. How much?
50 ÷ 10 = 5 groups
Each group costs $9 → 5 × 9 = $45
✔ Answer: $45
*(Double number line: Bags: 10 → 20 → 30 → 40 → 50; Price: $9 → $18 → $27 → $36 → $45)*
---

## Part 1: Equivalent Ratios — Tables
We need to find missing values in tables so that each column represents an equivalent ratio (i.e., the top number divided by the bottom number is constant in each table).
---
Table 1:
```
? ? 20 10
90 48 60 ?
```
Find the ratio: Look at column 3 → 20 / 60 = 1/3
So, every top number is 1/3 of the bottom number.
- Column 1: top = 90 × (1/3) = 30
- Column 2: top = 48 × (1/3) = 16
- Column 4: top = 10 → bottom = 10 ÷ (1/3) = 30
✔ Completed Table 1:
```
30 16 20 10
90 48 60 30
```
---
Table 2:
```
4 ? ? 5
24 18 60 ?
```
Ratio: 4 / 24 = 1/6
Check: 18 × (1/6) = 3 → so top should be 3
60 × (1/6) = 10
5 → bottom = 5 ÷ (1/6) = 30
✔ Completed Table 2:
```
4 3 10 5
24 18 60 30
```
---
Table 3:
```
? 40 9 ?
50 ? 90 300
```
Use column 3: 9 / 90 = 1/10
So top = 1/10 × bottom
- Column 1: top = 50 × (1/10) = 5
- Column 2: bottom = 40 ÷ (1/10) = 400
- Column 4: top = 300 × (1/10) = 30
✔ Completed Table 3:
```
5 40 9 30
50 400 90 300
```
---
Table 4:
```
6 20 ? 10
? 60 42 ?
```
Use column 2: 20 / 60 = 1/3
So top = 1/3 × bottom
- Column 1: bottom = 6 ÷ (1/3) = 18
- Column 3: top = 42 × (1/3) = 14
- Column 4: bottom = 10 ÷ (1/3) = 30
✔ Completed Table 4:
```

Problem 1: Debby’s Clothing Store
> Sold 312 shirts. Ratio short sleeve : long sleeve = 2:6. How many short sleeve shirts?
Simplify ratio: 2:6 = 1:3
Total parts = 1 + 3 = 4 parts
Each part = 312 ÷ 4 = 78
Short sleeve = 1 part = 78 shirts
✔ Answer: 78 short sleeve shirts
*(Tape diagram: Short = 1 box, Long = 3 boxes, total 4 boxes = 312 → each box = 78)*
---
Problem 2: Adam’s Ice Cream Hut
> Sold 830 shakes. Chocolate : Vanilla = 6:4 → simplify to 3:2
Total parts = 3 + 2 = 5 parts
Each part = 830 ÷ 5 = 166
Chocolate = 3 parts = 3 × 166 = 498
✔ Answer: 498 chocolate shakes
*(Tape diagram: Chocolate = 3 boxes, Vanilla = 2 boxes, total 5 boxes = 830 → each box = 166)*
---
## Part 3: Double Number Lines — Word Problems
---
Problem 1: Boys to Girls at Park
> Ratio boys : girls = 4:5. There are 8 boys. How many girls?
Set up proportion:
4 boys → 5 girls
8 boys → ? girls
Since 8 is 2×4, multiply girls by 2 → 5 × 2 = 10 girls
✔ Answer: 10 girls
*(Double number line: Boys: 4 → 8; Girls: 5 → 10)*
---
Problem 2: School Fundraiser — Boxes and Points
> For every 9 boxes sold, earn 4 points. If you sell 72 boxes, how many points?

✔ Answer: 32 points
*(Double number line: Boxes: 9 → 18 → 27 → ... → 72; Points: 4 → 8 → 12 → ... → 32)*
---
Problem 3: Cashews Sale
> 10 bags cost $9. Want 50 bags. How much?
50 ÷ 10 = 5 groups
