Forming Equations from Ratios (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet will guide your learners through forming equations from simple ratios across three sections.
Section A involves filling in missing values to complete equivalent ratios, complete sentences linking two variables, and then writing equations based on these ratios. For example: in the ratio 1 : 5, if the ratio is in the form x : y, then we could say that y is 5 times larger than x, and therefore y = 5x and x = 1⁄5 y
Section B challenges students to match given ratios to their corresponding linear equations.
Lastly, Section C requires students to express 9 further ratios as linear equations on their own.
For students studying higher tier, they can now try Forming Equations from Ratios (B).
