Printable Miniature Paint Mixing Ratio Worksheet gives learners a diagram, one worked example and five questions. The student sheet leaves space to show work. A second printable page gives the steps for each answer.
Start with the model
Keep the relationship fixed by multiplying or dividing both quantities by the same number.
One batch pairs 2 blue scoops with 3 white scoops. The diagram shows a base pair, a doubled pair and two missing entries.
Worked example
Double the base pair 2 to 3. The equivalent pair is 4 to 6.
Ask the learner to point to the information used in the example. When they move on to the exercises, have them record the quantity, unit or label that each step represents.
Practice questions
- How many white scoops go with 6 blue scoops?
- How many blue scoops go with 12 white scoops?
- How many white scoops go with one blue scoop?
- Is 6 to 10 equivalent to 2 to 3? Explain.
- Combine batches of 4 and 6 blue scoops. How many white scoops are needed?
Separate answer key
- 6 is 3 times 2, so use 3 × 3 = 9 white scoops.
- 12 ÷ 3 = 4 batches, so 4 × 2 = 8 blue scoops.
- 3 ÷ 2 = 3/2 white scoops per blue scoop.
- No. Multiplying 2 by 3 requires multiplying 3 by 3, which gives 9, not 10.
- Together there are 5 batches, so 6 + 9 = 15 white scoops.
