Problems with Ratios

Conclude an introductory lesson on ratios with a short four-question quiz. Starting with two word problems asking young mathematicians to determine the ratios described in real-world contexts, learners must then fill in the missing...

Learners solve eight word problems in which ratios and proportions are used. Examples are shown of writing proportions and using cross multiplication.

Here is another opportunity for math students to apply reasoning to solve real-world problems with ratios. The ratio of the number of votes for two candidates is provided. Your class is asked to use this ratio and information given about...

This is an opportunity for young mathematicians to apply reasoning to solve real-world problems with ratios. Even though there are three candidates for class president, students will only consider two at a time, making the first problem...

In this proportions worksheet, math learners read word problems and use the proportions within to find the solution. Since many middle-schooler find word problems a challenge to navigate, this resource will provide much-needed practice.

The teacher demonstrates how to set up a word problem into a proportion. There are many ways to solve this equivalent ratios problem and the instructor chooses to find a multiplier to find the missing value.

The teacher demonstrates how to set up a word problem into a ratio of fractions. There are many ways to solve this equivalent ratios problem and the instructor chooses to find a multiplier to find the missing value.

Organization is the best way to make sure that ratios are set up correctly to be proportional. This video reviews how to solve ratio problems with addition and multiplication, shown in more detail in the prior two videos of this series,...

The language of rates and ratios forms a common thread through this wide-reaching main problem set and its accompanying support work. Learners mix paint, size copies, distribute candy, and shop for good deals throughout these problems....

Mindful middle-schoolers read and solve a number of word problems. Learners copy and discuss what they believe their strategies are in solving each problem. They also write their findings and share with the rest of the class.
