Exploring Equivalent Ratios in Math

The video tutorial explains how to find equivalent ratios using two methods: multiplication and division. Multiplication is highlighted as the easier method, allowing for an infinite number of equivalent ratios by multiplying both parts of a ratio by the same number. Division is used for simplifying larger ratios by dividing both parts by a common factor, though it offers limited solutions. The tutorial provides examples for both methods and encourages students to practice finding equivalent ratios.
