Practise ratios in three ways: simplify a ratio such as 12 : 18 to 2 : 3, share an amount of rupees in a given ratio, or find the missing number in two equal ratios. Pick one task or a mix. Ratio is taught in Class 6 and Class 7 in India (NCERT) and in the Year 6 to Year 8 number strand in Australia.
Tips
- Show the working, even when the answer seems obvious; it makes mistakes easy to spot.
- Check each answer: put it back into an equation, or estimate before working out.
- Start with the easier setting and move up once most answers are right.
- Mix one older sheet into each week so earlier skills stay fresh.
Worked example
Simplify 12 : 18. Both numbers divide by 6, so 12 : 18 = 2 : 3. Share ₹60 in the ratio 2 : 3. That is 2 + 3 = 5 parts, so one part is ₹12. The shares are ₹24 and ₹36.
Common mistakes
Dividing only one side of the ratio instead of both.
Forgetting to add the parts first when sharing, so each part comes out the wrong size.
