1 Share a quantity into a ratio The task of sharing into a ratio is a favourite question on the SAT and GCSE papers. A question, for example, might ask you to share 32 into the ratio 3 : 5 © Brain-Cells: E.Resources Ltd. All Rights Reserved 24/11/09 www.brain-cells.co.ukwww.brain-cells.co.uk

2 Share 32 into the ratio 3 : 5, the three steps to follow are: ADD the ratio 3 + 5 = 8 DIVIDE this answer into the quantity to be shared 32 ÷ 8 = 4 MULTIPLY the ratio numbers by this answer 3 x 4 : 5 x 4 12 : 20 To do this type of problem, you follow these three steps + + ÷ ÷ x x © Brain-Cells: E.Resources Ltd.

5 Example – If the ratio of red beads black beads is 3 : 5, how many black beads will I need for 21 red beads? Red : Black 3 : 5 21 : ? Finding an unknown number in a ratio © Brain-Cells: E.Resources Ltd. All Rights Reserved 24/11/09 www.brain-cells.co.ukwww.brain-cells.co.uk

6 Red : Black 3 : 5 21 : x 7 Find the number that you multiply 3 by to get 21. (21 ÷ 3 = 7) 3 x 7 = 21 Multiply 5 by 7 to find the missing number 35 © Brain-Cells: E.Resources Ltd. All Rights Reserved 24/11/09 www.brain-cells.co.ukwww.brain-cells.co.uk

The ingredients are apricot juice, apple juice, pineapple juice and water in the ratio 2 : 3 : 7 : 28. a) How much of each ingredient is used to make 240 litres of Fruity Mix? Add the ratio 2 + 3 + 7 + 28 = 40 Divide into the quantity 240 ÷ 40 = 6 Multiply the ratio: 2 x 6 : 3 x 6 : 7 x 6 : 28 x 6 12 litres : 18 litres : 42 litres : 168 litres Apricot : Apple : Pineapple : Water © Brain-Cells: E.Resources Ltd.
