6th Grade Ratio Word Problems Worksheets

Ages 11-12 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

A ratio word problem gives one ratio and one amount and asks for a missing amount, like the flour that goes with 8 cups of milk. These ratio word problem worksheets for 6th grade hold 3 sheets, each with an answer key. Solve Ratio Word Problems covers a recipe, notebook prices, a map scale and a paint mix, and Solve Ratio Problems With Tape Diagrams fills each unit box, such as 5 students per box in a 3 : 5 chess club of 40. Solve Problems With Double Number Lines lines up cups and cookies or hours and miles (CCSS 6.RP.A.3).

Frequently Asked Questions

Find how many times larger the new amount is, then scale the other amount the same way. A recipe uses 3 cups of flour for every 2 cups of milk, and 8 cups of milk is 4 times 2, so it takes 4 × 3 = 12 cups of flour.
