The video tutorial covers solving problems involving ratios and proportions. It begins with a basic example of calculating the ratio of cats to dogs on an island, followed by a classroom problem involving the ratio of boys to girls. The tutorial then explores a time management problem with cakes, a geometric problem with rectangle dimensions, and concludes with a multi-step problem involving coins. Each section demonstrates setting up proportions, simplifying fractions, and using cross-multiplication to find solutions.
