Equivalent pairs lie on a ray through the origin.

Amina uses 2 blue tiles for every 5 yellow tiles at the mural wall. The same relationship has to hold for a larger amount.
Equivalent ratios of the form (first part, second part) lie on a straight ray through the origin. The point (2a, 2b) belongs. A nearby point such as (2a, 2b − 1) does not, even if it looks close, because it is not the same factor on both coordinates.
Problem 1 of 8. What we learned, an example, a few together, then independent practice.

A ratio table shows 2 blue tiles for every 5 yellow tiles. How many yellow tiles go with 4 blue tiles?
Support frame: Factor = 4 ÷ 2. Second part = 5 × factor.
