This math topic focuses on understanding and solving problems related to equivalent ratios and proportions, particularly in contexts such as cooking recipes and mixing colors. It includes exercises where students calculate the required amounts of ingredients or colors based on given ratios. For example, finding how many cups of one component are needed when the amounts of another component are changed, adhering strictly to the recipe's or mixture's ratio. These problems involve basic arithmetic operations and offer multiple choice answers, encouraging students to apply their knowledge of ratios coupled with multiplication and division of fractions.
