Unit: Module 1. Ratios and unit rates Ratio tables Hanna is recovering hundreds of treasure chests from an ancient shipwreck. She is able to recover 8 chests every 4 hours Complete the table using equivalent ratios. Treasure chests Hours 1 6 Stuck? Watch a video or use a hint.

Answer 1

She can cover 8 chests every 4 hours

The ratio is

$\frac{8}{4}$

We need to find how many chests she can cover in 6 hours

We will use the equivalent ratio to solve it

$\frac{8}{4}=\frac{x}{6}$

Where x is the number of chests

Use the cross multiplication

$\begin{gathered} 4\times x=8\times6 \\ 4x=48 \end{gathered}$
