1. FSA Practice Problems Ratios and Rates – 6 th Grade Examples MAFS6RP 1.1,1.2 and 1.3

2. Read problem and write ratio. 1 1 white tiles: total tiles 8:18 Or 4:9 in simplest form Remember to simplify! Question

3. Read carefully and use proportional reasoning to solve. 2 Question 2 Identify the two items you are comparing: Cost $ $12 = x No. Tiles 8 1 Divide 12 by 8 or cross multiply and divide. x= $1.50

4. Read the question and find the missing value. 3 3 Question 3 C.The pattern increases by $5, if 10 lbs.= $25 then 12 lbs. = $30 You can also see that each pound costs $2.50 using unit rate. So, 12 × 2.50 = $30.00

5. Read carefully and respond in writing. 4 Question 4 Identify items being compared. 7:2 Total Loaves : Loaves of Rye This means for every 7 loaves of bread 2 loaves will be rye.

6. Read the problem then solve using a proportion. Next, select the correct solution. 5 Question 5 Answer: A Identify items to compare which are dollars per hour. Total Dollars = $ 180 = x Total Hours 20 hrs 1hr Cross multiply and divide OR divide 180 by 20.

7. Use proportional reasoning to solve. 6 Question 6

8. Read the question and write the ratio. 7 Question 7

9. Complete the problem. 8 Question 8 Answer: B. Find the unit rate of bananas and oranges. Bananas: $1.50 ÷ 6 = $0.25 per banana. Oranges: $3.00 ÷ 5 = $0.60 per orange. So, (2 × 0.25) + (2 × 0.60) = total cost. $1.70

10. Use unit rate to find the answer. 8 Question 9
