Equivalent Ratios Worksheet

Equivalent ratios are ratios with the same value, even though the numbers in the ratio may differ. For example, the ratios 2:4 and 4:8 are equivalent because both have a value of 0.5 (or 1/2). To find equivalent ratios, you can multiply or divide both numbers in a ratio by the same number. If you are looking for an activity that your students can complete to practice this 6th-grade math skill. You have come to the right place!

With this worksheet, students will complete 36 problems where they must determine the missing number to complete the equivalent ratio. Students will then use the color key to color in the grid to reveal a mystery image.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!
