Forming Equations from Ratios (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet gives a scaffolded approach to forming and solving equations from ratios.

Section A provides algebraic ratios and an equivalent numerical ratio and requires learners to form and solve the equations.

Section B then introduces problems where a ratio between two amounts changes when those amounts increase or decrease.

Section C then provides some problems that will require knowledge of simultaneous equations, quadratics, rearranging formulae and angles.
