Ratio - Variation in question types

The same two people. The same ratio. The same quantity. Yet completely different questions with increasing complexity.

Excellent for use as example questions for a students book (especially if used as an introduction to using a bar model for ratio).

Students often have the misconception that all questions that share a quantity into a given ratio involves adding the parts of the ratio together, dividing the total then multiplying the answer. The ADAM (Add, Divide and Multiply) approach has confused and misled many students.

This set of 4 ratio questions shows the variation that the questions can actually have and is great for use with bar models.
