Ratio Calculations Worksheets
Printable ratio worksheets that take students from simplifying ratios and finding equivalent ratios to dividing quantities in a given ratio, solving proportion problems and tackling ratio word problems. Each worksheet has differentiated questions so the whole middle-years class can work on the same skill at the right level.

What's Included in a Ratio Calculations Worksheet
🔥Differentiated Questions
Every ratio worksheet ladders from straightforward simplifying questions up to multi-step ratio word problems, so faster students stay challenged while students who need more practice still get a full set of accessible questions on the same concept.
🌍 Engaging Puzzles
Real-world ratio puzzles — splitting a pizza in the ratio 3:5, scaling a recipe by an equivalent ratio, working out paint mixes — give students a reason to set up the proportion and check whether their answer makes sense.
💡Problem Solving Questions
Open-ended problem-solving questions push students past procedure: justify why two ratios are equivalent, find the missing term in a proportion, or work backwards from a part to the whole. Strong answers reveal proportional reasoning, not just arithmetic.
Space for Working
Practice Questions
Space is built in for students to show their working, set ratios in column form, write the proportion equation, and cancel down — so you can see exactly where their reasoning held up and where it broke.
Grouping of Students
Engaging Worksheet
Word problems sit alongside the pure calculation questions on every worksheet, giving you a quick read on which students can simplify a ratio in isolation but stumble when the same concept is wrapped in a sentence — useful for grouping.
Easy Editing
Enabling & Extending
Edit any question with one click. Swap the numbers, change the context to one your class will recognise, or add an extension question — without rebuilding the worksheet from scratch.

What is covered in a ratio calculations worksheet?
Simplifying ratios and finding equivalent ratios
Dividing a quantity in a given ratio
Proportion problems and ratio word problems
Worksheets walk students through writing ratios in simplest form, recognising when two ratios are equivalent, and generating equivalent ratios by multiplying or dividing both parts. Practice sets cover whole-number ratios, three-part ratios and ratios involving fractions and decimals — the foundation everything else in the unit builds on.
Targeted questions on dividing a quantity in a given ratio: splitting money, sharing ingredients, allocating time or marks across categories. Students learn to find the total number of parts, the value of one part, and the size of each share — with practice on both two-part and three-part ratios so the method generalises.
The harder half of each worksheet moves into proportion: setting up and solving a:b = c:d, using cross-multiplication to find a missing value, and tackling ratio word problems where students choose the right method themselves. These questions stretch top-end students and prepare the whole class for the way ratios appear on tests.
