Frequently asked
Questions parents ask about ratios
How are ratios different from fractions?
A fraction compares a part to a whole (3/5 of the pizza). A ratio compares two parts to each other (3:5 of red to blue marbles). The arithmetic is the same but the way you read the answer differs.
How do students divide a quantity in a given ratio?
Add the parts of the ratio to get the total number of shares, then divide the quantity by that total to find one share. For $80 split 3:5, total = 8 shares, one share = $10, so the split is $30 and $50.
Why do students get ratio problems wrong?
Usually they treat the ratio as a fraction and divide by the second number instead of the total. The other common mistake is leaving the answer in shares ($30 and $50 written as 3 and 5).
What real-world contexts use ratios in Year 7?
Recipes (mix the cordial 1:4 with water), map scales, currency exchange, and sharing money or items between people are the most common contexts. These worksheets use varied contexts so students can't memorise one type.
Want a real plan for the term?
Worksheets are great for repetition. A Tuterly tutor can spot the specific moves your student keeps getting wrong and fix them in one or two sessions.
