About this worksheet

Comparing mixes and deals. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

I can compare two mixes by making a matching row in each ratio table and then comparing the other numbers.
I can find the price of 1 for two deals and see which costs less.
I can say when two mixes are exactly the same.

Standard: 6.RP.A.3a

Words to know

stronger mix: The mix with more of the main ingredient when the other amount is the same.

matching row: A row in each table where one of the amounts is the same number.

row with 1: The row that shows the amount for just 1 of something.

better deal: The deal that costs less for each single item.

same mix: Two ratios that match, so tables for them share a row.

Common mistakes

Your child compared just one number from each mix or deal.

Your child tried to make the amounts match by adding the same number to both parts of a mix. Try doubling and tripling a recipe together to show that both parts are multiplied.

Your child picked the weaker mix or the more expensive deal. Ask them to say what the question is looking for (more of the main ingredient, or a lower price for 1), then check with a matching row.

What to say

Ask: if both used the same amount of water, how much juice would each have? For deals, ask: what does 1 cost in each?
