For a school project, your group contains 2 boys and 5 girls. Complete the table to show ratios equivalent to 2 : 5. Group Ratio Boys Girls 5 10 15 20

To find ratios equivalent to 2 : 5, we can multiply both parts of the ratio by the same number.

Here’s the step-by-step completion of the table:

1. Boys: For the ratio of boys (2 parts):

– When the girls are 5:

– ( text{Boys} = 2 times 1 = 2 )

– When the girls are 10:

– ( text{Boys} = 2 times 2 = 4 )

– When the girls are 15:

– ( text{Boys} = 2 times 3 = 6 )

– When the girls are 20:

– ( text{Boys} = 2 times 4 = 8 )

2. Table completion:

– Girls: 5 → Boys: 2

– Girls: 10 → Boys: 4

– Girls: 15 → Boys: 6

– Girls: 20 → Boys: 8

So the completed ratios are:

| Girls | Boys |

|——-|——|

| 5 | 2 |

| 10 | 4 |

| 15 | 6 |

| 20 | 8 |

This shows that for every multiple of girls, the number of boys increases
