This math topic focuses on understanding and solving problems related to ratios, specifically equivalent ratios and expansion of recipes using integer multiples of ingredients represented as fractions. It includes practical applications like adjusting quantities in recipes based on given ratios. The problems challenge students to determine the necessary amount of one ingredient when the quantity of another is varied, and are set within real-world contexts such as making paint colors, creating sundaes, or mixing smoothies, enhancing the relevance and applicability of the mathematical concepts taught.
