This Grade 5 worksheet uses tape diagrams to give students a visual model of ratios. Learners build equivalent ratio tables, count boxes in tape diagrams, and convert ratios to fractions, decimals, and percent forms. The matching activity pairs each ratio with its tape diagram description, reinforcing how ratio numbers map to box counts. Problems support flexible thinking and prepare students for sixth-grade proportional reasoning skills.

Ratios Introduction
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A tape diagram for the ratio 3:2 has 3 boxes for one part and 2 boxes for the other.
2. If a ratio is 1:4, the total number of equal boxes in the tape diagram is 5.
3. A tape diagram has 6 boxes shaded and 4 unshaded. The ratio of shaded to unshaded is 6:4.
4. Equivalent ratios for 2:3 include 4:6, 6:9, and 8:12.
5. The ratio 1:4 written as a fraction of part-to-whole is 1/5.
6. The ratio 3:7 as a part-to-whole fraction is 3/10.
7. If 1/4 of a class is boys, the percent that is boys is 25%.
8. The ratio 1:1 as a decimal of part-to-whole is 0.5.
9. Filling a table for ratio 5:2, after 5:2 and 10:4 the next pair is 15:6.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Ratio 1:3
→ 1 box and 3 boxes (4 total)
1 box and 3 boxes (4 total)
Ratio 2:1
→ 2 boxes and 1 box (3 total)
2 boxes and 1 box (3 total)
Ratio 1:1
→ 1 box and 1 box (2 total)
1 box and 1 box (2 total)
Ratio 3:2
→ 3 boxes and 2 boxes (5 total)
3 boxes and 2 boxes (5 total)
