Ratio Tape Diagrams: Given the Total — Easy Worksheet 2
Grade 6 · Whoobee Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Use the tape diagram. Find the value of one box first, then answer the question.
How to solve
Count all the boxes in both tapes. Divide the total by the number of boxes to find the value of one box. Then multiply: an amount = its number of boxes × the value of one box. For a ratio of 4 : 5 and 27 in all, there are 9 boxes, 27 ÷ 9 = 3, so the amounts are 4 × 3 = 12 and 5 × 3 = 15.
