This math topic focuses on calculating values from given item ratios, a fundamental concept in the broader unit of rates and ratios. Students must determine the unknown number of items in a ratio, like figuring out the number of dogs when given the ratio of cats to dogs and the number of cats. The questions involve various scenarios, ranging from animals to boys and girls, by applying the concepts of proportional relationships. Each question provides multiple-choice answers, challenging students to apply their understanding of ratios to find the correct figure.
