This math topic focuses on finding and simplifying ratios given specific values. The primary skill practiced is the calculation of the simplest form of ratios from provided numerical values. Examples involve determining the ratio of cats to dogs, tennis balls to soccer balls, and boys to girls. Each question provides initial values in pairs and asks to simplify these ratios to their lowest terms, testing understanding of the fundamental concept of ratios and their simplification.
