Ratios practice worksheets for 6th and 7th grade. Equivalent ratios, simplifying ratios, and mixed practice. Answer keys included. Fresh problems every download.
Ratios describe the relationship between two quantities — 3 : 4 means “3 for every 4.” Understanding ratios is the gateway to proportional reasoning, which underpins everything from unit rates and percentages to similar figures and slope. Our worksheets cover the two core skills: finding equivalent ratios (3:4 = ___:8) and simplifying ratios to lowest terms.
All problems use whole numbers and produce whole-number answers. Equivalent ratio problems are set up like proportion equations so students can see the multiplicative relationship directly. Simplifying ratio problems use composite numbers with small GCFs (greatest common factors) so students practice the skill without getting bogged down in large-number factoring. Answer keys included.
