Ratio and Proportion — Easier Than You Think
Ratio and Proportion sounds like a big topic, but once you get the idea, it clicks fast. The problem is that most students don't practise enough variety. They solve a few textbook sums, think they've got it, and then get stuck on a word problem in the exam.
This worksheet fixes that. With 60 questions — from simple ratio writing to multi-step word problems using the unitary method — you'll have practised every type of question your ICSE exam can throw at you. And every question comes with a step-by-step answer.
Topics Covered in This Worksheet
The worksheet is based on the ICSE Class 6 syllabus for Ratio & Proportion (Chapter 6). Here's what you'll find:
Level 1 (Basics — 20 questions):
- Writing ratios from given information
- Simplifying ratios to lowest terms
- Equivalent ratios
- Comparing ratios
- Ratio of quantities in the same unit
Level 2 (Application — 20 questions):
- Dividing a quantity in a given ratio
- Proportion — checking if two ratios form a proportion
- Finding the missing term in a proportion
- Unitary method — basic problems
Level 3 (Challenge — 20 questions):
- Word problems on sharing and distribution
- Multi-step unitary method problems
- Ratio and proportion in real-life contexts (recipes, maps, scale)
- Problems involving conversion of units before finding ratios
Sample Questions
Here's a taste of what's inside:
Q1 (Level 1): Express the ratio of 45 minutes to 1 hour in simplest form.
Q2 (Level 1): Are and equivalent ratios? Explain.
Q3 (Level 2): Divide Rs 540 between Ankit and Priya in the ratio .
Q4 (Level 2): If , find the value of .
Q5 (Level 3): A recipe needs 250 g of sugar for 4 servings. How much sugar is needed for 10 servings?

How to Practise Ratio and Proportion Effectively
This topic is all about understanding relationships between numbers. Here's how to build that understanding:
Always simplify first. Before doing anything with a ratio, reduce it to its simplest form. This one habit prevents 80% of errors.
Convert units before comparing. You can't find the ratio of 2 kg to 500 g unless both are in the same unit. ICSE loves testing this — it's a common mistake catcher.
Master the unitary method. Find the value for 1 unit first, then scale up or down. This approach works for almost every proportion problem. Write it step by step:
- Step 1: "If 6 pens cost Rs 90..."
- Step 2: "Then 1 pen costs Rs 90 ÷ 6 = Rs 15"
- Step 3: "So 10 pens cost Rs 15 × 10 = Rs 150"
Practise word problems separately. After finishing the computational questions, revisit just the word problems. Read each one twice before picking up your pen.

What Comes Next After Ratio and Proportion?
Ratio and Proportion connects to so many other topics in maths. Here's where to go after you're confident:
- Fractions — ratios are closely related to fractions; if you're weak in fractions, go back and strengthen them first
- Algebra Introduction — you'll use variables in proportion problems
- Data Handling — interpreting data often involves ratios and percentages
In Class 7, ratio and proportion extends into percentages, profit-loss, and more complex unitary method problems. A solid base now means less struggle later.
