Fraction, Percentage and Ratio Problems WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet focuses on tackling problems that involve working with fractions, percentages, and ratios. These types of questions are very common in GCSE exams, and students studying either the foundation or higher tier curriculum will frequently encounter scenarios like these.
Learners will warm up by recapping how to find fractions and percentages of amounts, and how to share amounts into given ratios in Section A, by answering 9 quick questions.
Section B then consists of six problem-solving questions where the above skills are combined. Questions 5 and 6 are slightly different and require students to find a whole when given a fractional amount, and to find one part of a ratio when given another.
