It covers how to find equivalent ratios using multiplication and division, similar to equivalent fractions. Two examples are provided: the first uses the ratio 1 to 5, and the second uses 12 to 8. The video demonstrates how to find equivalent ratios by multiplying or dividing both terms of a ratio by the same number. It concludes with a summary of the methods discussed.
