Honestly, I can't thank you enough for your precise explanation. You have made it very easy for me to comprehend. Thanks kindly!

[@LearnMathWithMsM]

curriedpie Thank YOU! Glad to be of help :-)

[@Edd6117]

You actually teach better than my math teacher,thanks for helping me actually understand this,thank you so much

[@damonicajones4396]

You are the best, I wish you were my teacher.

[@julianahuerta1195]

Love how you write 😍

[@LearnMathWithMsM]

Hi everyone! Thank you for your kind words and thoughtful responses. I'm adding more math videos to my channel, feel free to check them out for more math help!

[@clearlyfootball641]

ok

[@justfab1018]

thanks a lot for this explanation, it really helped me understand alot more about ratios

[@Sb-hj1om]

Math teacher sent me here who else is in HMS?

[@youngspooff]

lmao same

[@johnblakeolsen4977]

thank you you've helped me a lot

[@shenicejeanlouis]

thank you soo much i have the parcc test tomorrow and i was having a bit of trouble on unti rate

[@LearnMathWithMsM]

shenice jeanlouis I hope your PARCC went well! Never let a test like that determine your value, you are so much smarter than 1 test could ever show

[@JoeyMushrooom]

Thank you! I understand a bit better now!

You're making it harder than it has to be. You could have just divided 178 by 3 and times 10 in the very beginning. Easy

I'm subscribing thnx for helping me!!

[@Ava-kw3ex]

Thank you very much for this. ❤️

[@IamJohnKelly]

look no one can teach this like you I am looking for people to teach me this cause I was trying to join the army and I'm happy now cause I found you do you do one on one teaching

[@LearnMathWithMsM]

Glad I can help!

[@until_its_0v3r97]

Man my teacher sent me here

[@archiebenaro8585]

Ratio ang proportion isn't totally difficult, but i like to thank for mor info and other way to solve this😊

[@noellebuckle4509]

all u had to do was divide 178 by 3 which equals 59.33 then u multiply Ur answer by 10 which equals 593.33

[@hawasafi7692]

thank you do much it was a big help but I hope and wish that you will show 6 grade how to do it in a easier way. thanks again

What if a problem has four numbers and doesn't have a variable? Would you still do the same thing?

[@LearnMathWithMsM]

If that's the case, what is the problem asking you to figure out? When you "solve" a proportion you are looking for the value that will make it a true, meaning it will be proportional. If you have 4 numbers, you can't "solve" the proportion. The problem might want you to just check to see if they are proportional.

thanks mr bull

[@thelarrygod8224]

I don't think this is unit rate because isn't unit rate a proportion where you have to find try to find the variable for one unit like 3/36=1/x. What you did was proportions with variables it was still a good video though.

[@wetree9939]

Or u can just divide 178 and 3 to make it easier

[@zainublarji2260]

wouldn't you say that x is approximately equal to the answer?

[@melodyyoung5997]

In Chicago, the tax on a property assessed at $320,000 is $4,160. If tax rates are proportional in this city, how much would the tax be on a property assessed at $520,000? how do you work this problem

[@normanhenderson7300]

$320,000/$4,160 =$520,000/x, then solve as in a proportion.

[@leesunjileesun6258]

Hi maam, can you made a blog how to solve a Age problems pls 😔

[@dirtylipsvanity6610]

Thanks

[@Sk0rPiUsAzRaEl]

what I dis was to divide 178 miles by 3, then I multiplied the quotient by 10 and the answer was 593 without decimals. am I wrong?

[@thantaswahanise3713]

Thanks

[@montannalively2778]

can you be my teacher

[@gda295]

V. Nice.

[@angelajimenez4183]

im 6th grade :) thx

[@lai238]

Why couldn’t u just multiply 178 and 10 then divide answer by 3

[@LearnMathWithMsM]

You could! That's another way to solve this problem.

[@Sophie-bw8bk]

593.3 repeating

[@victoriamaics_]

What does equivalent rates means? Hehe
