No. Your friend is not correct with the created ratio table for the ratio 5:3.

A ratio describes the relative size of one quantity, value, expression,or number compared to another.

Ratios can be represented as percentages, decimals, fractions, or in standard ratio forms (:).

Given ratio = 5:3

Given ratio table:

A 5 25 125

B 3 9 27

Constant rate of change between the ratio 5:3 = 3/5 = 0.6

The correct ratio table should look like:

A 5 15 45

B 3 9 27

Thus, we can conclude that your friend is incorrect with the values of A in the ratio table.
