Bro. Thank you so much. i have a quiz on this in 2 weeks and my teacher did'nt explain it to me properly. I've tried watching other videos but none of them helped me and just wasted my time until I found your video. I just want to say thank you very much. You just got yourself a new subscriber.

Glad the video helped! I appreciate the sub and best wishes with the quiz in 2 weeks! I am livestreaming Wednesdays (8:30PM eastern time) so stop by if you have any other questions for your quiz.
For number 2. Will - Sam = 9 - 7 = 2 = 6 Both 2 and 6 are divisible by 2. So 1 = 3 3 x 7 : 3 x 9 7: 9
Thank you so much! You are really good at explaining. I hope your channel goes very far!

For the first problem, what did x represent? I am a little confused.
@vinteachesmath
Жыл бұрын
Introducing an x in a ratio allows us to look at any numbers that keep that ratio. For example, the ratio 1:2, we transform to 1x:2x. So if x = 3, we get 3:6, if x = 5. we get 5:10. All those ratios 1:2, 3:6, and 5:10 are equivalent. X represents any number we can multiply the ratio by to get an equivalent ratio. We do this so that we can find the exact numbers we need in the context of the word problem.

How to solve if the problem is (in a mathematics club,there were 8 girls for every 5 boys.when 19 boys and 4 girls were added,the ratio became 9 girls for every 7 boys.how many girls were there at the start).thank you.
Can this be used to solve three ratios
@vinteachesmath
5 ай бұрын
The multiplying everything in the ratio by x concept does transfer. But those 3 part ratio word problems are definitely tricky!
Why did you flip 7x to negative and put it on both sides? And how did you get the 2
@vinteachesmath
Жыл бұрын
9x = 7x +42, I subtracted 7x on both sides of that equation to get the x terms on both sides. 9x - 7x = 2x because 9x - 7x = (9-7)x [Distributive Property] = 2x.

@vinteachesmath
Жыл бұрын
Sorry for that! That question has a lot going on. The key to understanding questions like that is plugging in real numbers to see the pattern. Once you see the pattern, define the pattern with algebra. Once you have an algebraic expression, the question is solvable. There is quote, I think it is from Abraham Lincoln, that goes, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." Questions like 2 are the embodiment of that quote because for this question, you need to spend a lot of time understanding what is going on, and carefully looking for the trend to describe with algebra. Best wishes!

Are you comfortable with basic ratios? You definitely want to make sure your foundation is strong before you move on to the application questions. But do not lose hope! Getting better at math is all about being confused and working through it. Try to learn a little bit each day.
