GCSE ratio with extension and answers

(0)
This worksheet consists of sharing a quantity into a three part ratio, combinations of ratio, then fractions and percentages with ratio. It ends with three extension questions aimed at grade 7+ students. I used this in an observation lesson where I wanted a set 1/2 class to demonstrate a good knowledge of ratio which they’d been learning, but I wanted a good challenge for the most able students to finish with. This worksheet comes with answers written out in a clear way.

Some of these were only found on A-level previously.

All these questions are spaced out so that this can be printed out and students have room to show their working out. Each question also challenges students to round to significant figures and understand the idea of the length being side AB or EF.
