Ratio Worksheets: Simple Ratio Math Worksheet 4 with answer key, featuring colorful fruit and vegetable images for ratio practice.

You're looking at a Ratio Worksheet (Math Worksheet 4) designed to help students practice finding and simplifying ratios using visual groups of objects. The worksheet includes 8 problems, each showing two types of fruit or vegetables, and asks for the ratio of one group to the total of both groups — then to simplify that ratio.

Let’s go through each problem step by step and verify the answers provided in the “Answer Key.”

---

🔢 Problem 1: Apples vs. Oranges

- Apples: 3
- Oranges: 9
- Total = 3 + 9 = 12
- Ratio of apples to total = 3 : 12
- Simplify: Divide both by 3 → 1 : 4

✔ Answer given: 3:4 — ✘ This is incorrect.
The correct simplified ratio is 1:4, not 3:4.
*(Note: The worksheet says “simplified = 3:4”, which is wrong. It should be 1:4.)*

🍋 Problem 2: Lemons vs. Cherries

- Lemons: 6
- Cherries: 9
- Total = 6 + 9 = 15
- Ratio of lemons to total = 6 : 15
- Simplify: Divide both by 3 → 2 : 5

✔ Answer given: 3:5 — ✘ Incorrect.
Correct answer: 2:5

---

🍌 Problem 3: Bananas vs. Avocados

- Bananas: 12
- Avocados: 6
- Total = 12 + 6 = 18
- Ratio of bananas to total = 12 : 18
- Simplify: Divide both by 6 → 2 : 3

✔ Answer given: 1:3 — ✘ Incorrect.
Correct answer: 2:3

---

🍎 Problem 4: Apples vs. Grapes

- Apples: 4
- Grapes: 8
- Total = 4 + 8 = 12
- Ratio of apples to total = 4 : 12
- Simplify: Divide both by 4 → 1 : 3

✔ Answer given: 2:3 — ✘ Incorrect.
Correct answer: 1:3

---

🍓 Problem 5: Kiwis vs. Strawberries

- Kiwis: 4
- Strawberries: 16
- Total = 4 + 16 = 20
- Ratio of kiwis to total = 4 : 20
- Simplify: Divide both by 4 → 1 : 5

✔ Answer given: 3:4 — ✘ Incorrect.
Correct answer: 1:5

---

🍑 Problem 6: Peaches vs. Pears

- Peaches: 7
- Pears: 14
- Total = 7 + 14 = 21
- Ratio of peaches to total = 7 : 21
- Simplify: Divide both by 7 → 1 : 3

✔ Answer given: 2:3 — ✘ Incorrect.
Correct answer: 1:3

---

🍐 Problem 7: Lemons vs. Apples

- Lemons: 8
- Apples: 13
- Total = 8 + 13 = 21
- Ratio of lemons to total = 8 : 21
- Simplify: GCF of 8 and 21 is 1 → already simplified → 8 : 21

✔ Answer given: 4:7 — ✘ Incorrect.
Correct answer: 8:21

---

🍍 Problem 8: Pineapples vs. Watermelons

- Pineapples: 6
- Watermelons: 16
- Total = 6 + 16 = 22
- Ratio of pineapples to total = 6 : 22
- Simplify: Divide both by 2 → 3 : 11

✔ Answer given: 9:11 — ✘ Incorrect.
Correct answer: 3:11

## 🧠 Key Concept Explained:
A ratio compares two quantities. In this worksheet, you’re comparing one group to the sum of both groups (i.e., part-to-whole).

To simplify a ratio, divide both numbers by their greatest common factor (GCF) until no further simplification is possible.

## ⚠️ Important Note:
The “Answer Key” shown in your image contains multiple errors. All 8 answers are incorrect. This may be a misprint or an intentional trick to test attention to detail — but mathematically, none of the provided simplified ratios match the correct simplifications.

## ✔ Final Recommendation:
If you’re using this as a learning tool, ignore the answer key and use the correct answers above. If you’re a teacher or parent, consider correcting the answer key before distributing it to students.
