This is a nice context based example of using proportion, students must work out which MP3 player should be bought based on how many songs it needs to hold. The worksheet also brings in fractions and percentages although there are no explicit references to ratio (no ratio notation is used). The answers are included on the first link and a student version on the third link. You could use this as an activity to consolidate understanding of proportion. Thank you for sharing.
