Ratios - Equivalent, Shrinking Recipes with Non-Integer Multiples - Fractions

This math topic focuses on advanced rates and ratios, specifically dealing with equivalent ratios and the application of these concepts to practical scenarios like adjusting recipes. It involves solving problems where students are required to calculate quantities of ingredients based on given ratios and different volumes, using both integer and non-integer multiples. The problems typically present a base ratio, such as the amount of one ingredient (e.g., mustard) needed per a given amount of another (e.g., ketchup), and ask students to find the required quantity of the first ingredient when the volume of the second ingredient is changed. The exercises involve various fraction calculations, enhancing students' proficiency with fractions within a real-world context.
