Ratio and proportion for multipacks of cola (investigation)

(1)
Can you work out which cans are the cheapest. A second sheet with a different requirement as I think the "JUST BUY ONE CAN AND BE DONE WITH IT" was a common answer. Help sheets included to be given out or 'bought' by students if they are really struggling. The task has been left a little open but can be focussed on simply working out 'best deal' on the six offers.

Cancelling ratio and turning a statement into a ratio. I think this one was a copy of an activity on the NCETM website that I tidied up a little. Match up the sets of four cards and colour in the beads to that ratio.
