Comprehensive Class 5 Ratio Worksheet with Answers PDF - Free Download

Comprehensive Class 5 ratio worksheet with 24 problems covering ratio basics, simplification, real-world applications, and word problems. Includes complete solutions and step-by-step explanations.

What is Ratio?

A ratio compares two or more quantities of the same kind.

For example: If there are 3 apples and 5 oranges, the ratio of apples to oranges is 3:5 (read as "3 is to 5")

Order matters: Ratio 3:5 is different from 5:3

Same units: We can only compare quantities with the same units (apples to apples, not apples to oranges' weight!)

Simplest form: Like fractions, ratios can be simplified (4:8 = 1:2)

Three ways to write: 3:5 or 3 to 5 or 3/5

Real-life Examples:

Classroom: 15 boys to 18 girls (ratio 15:18 = 5:6)

Colors: Mixing 1 part blue to 2 parts yellow makes green (ratio 1:2)

Solved Example

Problem: In Rahul's fruit basket, there are 6 mangoes and 9 bananas. Find the ratio of mangoes to bananas and simplify it.

Solution:

Number of mangoes = 6

Number of bananas = 9

Ratio of mangoes to bananas = 6:9

Simplifying:

Both 6 and 9 are divisible by 3

6 ÷ 3 = 2

9 ÷ 3 = 3

Answer: The ratio in simplest form is 2:3

Scoring Guide

20-24 correct: Excellent! You're a ratio master! Try solving problems with three-term ratios (like 2:3:5).

15-19 correct: Very Good! Great work! Practice more word problems that require finding unknown quantities.

10-14 correct: Good Effort! Keep practicing! Focus on simplifying ratios and understanding the relationship between parts.

0-9 correct: Keep Trying! Review the concept section. Practice finding ratios from pictures and simplifying them daily.

Tips for Improvement

Always simplify: Divide both parts by their HCF (like 10:15 becomes 2:3)

Order matters: Remember 3:5 is different from 5:3

Find the value of 1 part: In word problems, divide the given quantity by its ratio part

Check total parts: When given total, add ratio parts (3:5 means 8 total parts)

Use multiplication: Once you know 1 part, multiply to find other quantities

Practice with real objects: Use marbles, candies, or toys to visualize ratios

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Forgetting to simplify the final answer

Mixing up the order (writing 5:3 instead of 3:5)

Not finding the value of 1 part in word problems

Adding ratios incorrectly (2:3 + 1:2 ≠ 3:5)
