Mymaths – scaling and ratio problems Think back to finding equivalent fractions in relation to multiplication and division. Whatever happened to the numerator, the same had to be applied to the denominator. The same rule applies to scaling, ratio and proportion. Look at the patterns in relation to multiplication – how many times bigger etc.
