In this Grade 5 easy-2 worksheet, students identify ratios hidden in pictures and short stories about marbles, classmates, and flowers. They write ratios using all three notations and pay attention to whether a question asks for a part-to-part or part-to-whole comparison. Sentence correction items reinforce proper ratio language, while fill-in tasks build fluency in counting items, totaling them, and writing ratios accurately in everyday classroom contexts.
