As the name suggests, multiple-step ratio problems require multiple steps so that we can arrive at a solution. Multi-step ratio problems can be solved using the cross multiplication method and the unit rate method. To solve multi-step ratio problems using the unit rate, we first find out the unit rate and then analyse whether we need to multiply or divide to arrive at the required answer.
