Exercises include simplifying ratios such as 25:35, 18:45 and 300:25, splitting £700 in a 5:3:2 ratio, and using ratios to find totals for chocolates, pencils, carpet lengths, tickets and competition prizes. Additional tasks cover angles in a triangle using ratio proportions, fractions and percentages from class ratios, and multi-school language course totals based on overlapping French/German student data.","| Name: |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Exam Style Questions\u003Cbr>| |\n| Ensure you have: Pencil, pen, ruler, protractor, pair of compasses and eraser You may use tracing paper if needed |  |\n\nGuidance  \n1.
