Ratios were calculated for known data, yielding a consistent ratio of 1/4. Solving for missing values resulted in a completed table, maintaining the relationship between teaspoons of honey and ounces of tea.
The ratio of honey to green tea is 1:4. This can be found by dividing the number of teaspoons of honey by the number of ounces of green tea for any row in the table.
For example, in the first row, there are 2 teaspoons of honey for 8 ounces of green tea. Dividing both numbers by 2 gives us a ratio of 1:4.
This ratio can be used to make iced tea with any amount of honey or green tea. For example, if you want to make iced tea with 12 ounces of green tea, you would use 3 teaspoons of honey
(12 ounces / 4 ounces/teaspoon = 3 teaspoons).
Now that we know the ratio, we can fill the missing values in the table.
2nd row:
4:x=1:4
4*4=x
x=16
3rd row:
8:x=1:4
x=8*4
x=32
4th row:
x:48=1:4
4x=48
x=48/4
x=12
5th row:
18:x=1:4
x=18*4
x=72
