Question

Describe and correct the error in making the ratio table

Answer 1

The ratio is correct. there is no mistake.

Answer 2

In the table the first ratio is
`(5)/(3)`

And the next ratio is

`(25)/(9)`.

Here both numerator and denominator are not multiplied by the same factor.

Let's check out first ratio and multiply both numerator and denominator by 5

`(5*5)/(3*5) = (25)/(15)`

So the error is at 9. There have to be 15 .

The third ratio is
`(125)/(27)`

Multiply the numerator and denominator of the first ratio by 25

`(5*25)/(3*25) = (125)/(75)`

So the error is at 27. There have to be 75 .
