Sample Linked ratios with a shared term questions

A few of the 35 questions, from easier to harder. Choose your exam board and tier to practise them, with every answer marked.

Question 13 marksGrade 3
Three teams, A, B and C, play in a competition. Games won by A : games won by B = 2 : 1 Games won by B : games won by C = 3 : 1 Team B has won 6 games. In total, how many games have the three teams won?
Show the worked solution
A : B = 2 : 1, and B = 6, so A = 2 × 6 = 12. M1
B : C = 3 : 1, and B = 6, so one part = 6 ÷ 3 = 2, meaning C = 2. M2
Total games won = 12 + 6 + 2 = 20. A1
Question 23 marksGrade 5
At a football game, number of men : number of women : number of children = 13 : 5 : 7. There are 4152 more men than women. Work out the number of children at the game.
Show the worked solution
Men − women = 13 − 5 = 8 parts, which corresponds to 4152 people. M1

What are the common mistakes in Linked ratios with a shared term?

When a pupil makes one of these on Revision Workshop, the marking engine names the mistake and explains it, instead of just marking the answer wrong.

Uses the given fraction directly as the ratio
Applied the ratio 2:3 directly to the £12 TOTAL (splitting it in that ratio) instead of first finding the cost of ONE straight line, then scaling up to find the cost of ONE arc.
Did not scale ratios to common shared term
Used the two ratios directly without first scaling them to a common value for cats (the shared term), so the dog and bird parts weren't comparable.
Applies a fraction meant for a remaining amount to the original total instead of to what is left after other portions are removed
Applies the lemon fraction (4/9) to the full 420 cakes instead of to the 153 remaining cakes after vanilla and banana have been removed.
