Standard practice

Each row of an equivalent ratio table uses one shared factor.

Equivalent ratios

Amina uses 3 blue tiles for every 5 yellow tiles at the mural wall. The same relationship has to hold for a larger amount.

Each row of an equivalent ratio table is the base ratio multiplied by a whole-number factor. The columns stay matched because the factor is shared. Moving down a column by adding a fixed amount breaks that match.
