Ratios - Equivalent, Expanding Recipes with Non-Integer Multiples - Fractions (Level 2)

This topic focuses on advanced rates and ratios. Specifically, it practices calculating equivalent ratios and expanding recipes using non-integer multiples expressed as fractions. Students learn to scale ingredient quantities in cooking recipes based on given conditions, such as adjusting mustard and ketchup in a sauce, or peaches and limes in a smoothie. The problems require understanding and applying proportional reasoning to find the necessary amounts of one ingredient based on the quantity of another, using fractions to achieve precise measurements. These exercises challenge proficiency in fractional operations within practical contexts.
