This resource is about showing how to solve problems involving rates and ratios
Show how you work these problem out.
1. Mara has 4 books for every 3 books Chloe has.
Chloe has 12 books. How many books does Mara has?
4 : 3
Chloe 3 x 4 = 12 book
Mara 4 x 4 = 16
2. Sam gets $15 every 5 weeks for doing work around the house.
Show how to work out how many weeks it will take Sam to save $60
15 : 5
15 x 4 = 60
5 x 4 = 20
$60 = 20 weeks
3. There are 6 boys for every 4 girls in a hockey team.
There are 10 girls in the team
Show how to work out how many boys are in the team.
6:4
4 + 4 = 8
half 4 = 2
8 + 2 = 10
6 + 6 = 12
half 6 = 3
12 + 3 = 15
15 boys
