Sample questions

  1. A student changes the ratio 2:6 to 6:18 by multiplying. Another changes it to 3:7 by adding 1. Test both claims using cross products. Can adding ever happen to preserve a ratio?
  2. A mixture uses 4 scoops of powder per 3 cups of water. Complete the missing table entries and explain the rule.
  3. Complete the missing value on the double number line. Explain why aligned positions describe equivalent ratios.
  4. Compare mixtures A (3:5) and B (6:11) for juice to water. Are they equivalent? Which has more juice per cup of water?
  5. A drink uses 4 cups of juice for every 6 cups of water. How much water goes with 10 cups of juice? Show a ratio table or an equation.
