Short word problems on unit rates, equal rates, equivalent ratios and parts of a whole, each with one numeric answer.

About this worksheet

Choose rate problems (price of one item, miles per hour, pages per minute, time to fill), ratio problems (scaling a recipe, parts of a whole, a map scale) or a mix. Every problem has one number as its answer, and the unit is printed after the answer box.

Numbers are chosen so each answer comes out exactly, in whole numbers or in dollars and cents. Each solved example shows the reasoning step by step.
