MULTIPLE
CHOICE
5th grade / Multiply + Divide / Money and people / Share money using ratio
This topic is intended to help you learn or revise how to calculate shares of a total based on a given ratio. This type of calculation has many real-world applications like working out portions of a shopping bill or other shared cost.
So, if you have two people sharing $100 in the ratio 3:2, how do you work out what each of them gets? Add up the ratios then divide the amount by that total. That gives you the value for a ratio proportion of 1. If you want to know a ratio proportion of 3, multiply that amount by 3. For example
Bill and Ben share $100 in the ratio 3:2
Add up the ratio shares and divide the monetary amount by the total ratio shares. Then multiply by the given ratio share:
$100 รท 5 x 3 = $60 and $100 รท 5 x 2 = $40
So we can see that Bill gets $60 and Ben gets $40.
With our quick math tests you will be revising "Share money using ratio" in 2 simple steps. The math in our tests consists of 16 questions that ask you to share out a given amount of money at a given ratio using multiplication and division.
These math tests are designed to round off your learning experience here at Free Math Games by testing whether you can correctly recognize the math you have learned (in the multiple choice test) and that you can correctly enter the correct answers (in the writing test).
Make sure you have chosen the correct topic before starting! Although these tests are timed, try to relax and concentrate on getting the answers right at first - later you can try the tests again more quickly.
The two types of tests are:
Key features of our math tests include:
You should expect to score 8+ / 10 in each test before you select a new topic. It is a good idea to repeat the test for each topic you do after two weeks to "reinforce" the math for that topic
UXO * Duck shoot * The frog flies * Pong * Cat and mouse * The beetle and the bee
Rock fall * Four in a row * Sow grow * Choose or lose * Mix and match
This is a multiple choice activity similar to "What is it" in the Math lessons - you are shown a randomly selected question from the topic you are using. A selection of topic answers are displayed as a list. If you click/tap the speaker beside any answer you will hear the audio for that answer.
For each question, you must click on the answer that matches that question. If your answer is correct you will hear a bell and one star will be lit. The next question will be shown. If your answer is wrong, a box will open showing you what the correct answer was.
The test is timed, and the clock starts when you click the Start button. The clock stops when you click your final answer. At the end of your test a screen will tell you how many of the questions you got right and how long you took to complete the test.
The writing test checks whether you can type the correct answer using your keyboard. This test is also timed. You can do the test many times until you get a good score. To start the test, click on the "Writing test" sign in the navigation board, then click on the "Start the test" arrow.
A random problem from your selected topic is shown. Beneath the problem there is a white box into which you should type the answer. If you need a little help you can click on the "Help me" button for a tip. Only use the help if you really need to.
If you type the answer correctly your device will automatically light a star. If you have entered your answer and no star lights up, click on the tick or press Enter to check your answer. When you have tried all the questions, a screen will show you how many questions you answered correctly and how long it took.
* Try to score 8 out of 10 in both test before you choose a new topic *
* It is OK to do the tests many times if you need to *
