The kind of problems you'll get

Complete each problem. Use the models and show your reasoning where asked.

  1. A measurement of 32 ounces by weight must be expressed in pounds. Which plan preserves the quantity and cancels the source unit?

    Answer: Multiply by 1 pound per 16 ounces by weight to obtain 2 pounds.

  2. A conversion table connects centimeters and meters. Which equality states the exact unit relationship that every row must preserve?

    Answer: 100 centimeters = 1 meter

  3. Consider this argument: “A student claims that 5 yards equals 5/3 feet because the conversion number 3 should always be placed in the denominator.” Which response identifies a valid conversion factor and gives the corrected quantity?

    Answer: Use 3 feet per 1 yard; the yard unit cancels and the corrected result is 15 feet.

Every print pulls a fresh set of problems at this level, so a make-up test or a second sibling never gets the same sheet.

What's on each sheet

Every version prints on US Letter or A4, with its answer key after the problems.

This sheet is one of the versions on the 6th grade equivalent ratios & ratio tables page, with its own difficulty choices and its own answer key.

How to teach this

Ask for the multiplier out loud before the blank gets filled: "2 became 8, that's times 4." In the tables, have your child pencil the multiplier next to each row instead of eyeballing the columns. If addition creeps in, cook up the counterexample: a mix of 1 cup sugar to 2 cups flour doesn't taste the same at 2 and 3. In conversions, write the units beside both quantities so the direction of the ratio stays visible.

Watch for: Kids add the same amount to both sides, turning 2 : 3 into 4 : 5. Equivalent ratios multiply: 2 : 3 doubled is 4 : 6. Kids scale only the side with the blank. Find the multiplier from the complete pair first, then apply it to the other part.
