Ratio - math word problems - page 61 of 64
Ratio problems are word problems that use ratios to relate the different items in the question. On solving problems and tasks proportionally, we recommend a hint rule of three. Rule of three (proportionality) helps solve examples of direct and inverse proportionality. Three members make it possible to calculate the fourth - unknown member.Number of problems found: 1275
