Thanks for the great tips. When I solved it before checking your answer I assumed the questions asks about the new amount that Philip has which would be 6x+5 = 65. Pointing out that question doesn't seem to ask for the original amount. In all cases, you made the point very clear. Thanks a lot.
I enjoy every video of your quant subjects, you make everything so understandable that I become excited to continue watch all the topic. You are helping immensely, I am very grateful. Thank you Philip
To those who did not understand why Philip have 60 sweets instead of 65, the question says "if" Arif gave 5 sweets, then Arif and Philip "would have" sweets in the ratio 13: 21. The "would have" implies that this did not happen and therefore the question does not ask about the current number of sweets.
Hey Philip, could you please enable the auto-generated English closed captions on all your videos?

Thank you so much again for all your videos! Best of wishes and lots of gratitude from Pakistan! ❤
What's unclear in the question is the fact that whether they are asking us to determine the number of sweets Phillip has before or the number of sweets Phillip has after Arif gives him 5. So the answer can be 60 or 65. What are your thoughts ?
@@TheTestedTutor That's so tricky. Have you seen the GRE word it exactly this way, or are they usually a bit more clear on the language in the first example you gave?
Thank you .. explained with so much simplicity. Can you please make a video on finding missing lengths in a sum of similar triangles ( or perhaps 3 triangles). Such sums appears to be very time consuming.
Hello, quick question here... In the question they didn't mention like, how many sweets does Philip has before or after the change? then how to identify it... like between after change 65 or before change 60 ?
Hey @thetestedtutor, Can you solve this question with your own method and tricks? Oil, vinegar, and water are mixed in a 3 to 2 to 1 ratio to make salad dressing. If Larry has 8 cups of oil, 7 cups of vinegar, and access to any amount of water, what is the maximum number of cups of salad dressing he can make with the ingredients he has available, if fractional cup measurements are possible?
Hey philip in ratio switch, 1 question, the question is asking for how many sweets does philip have ?, which will be 65 but you are answering it in how many sweets does philip had ?, which is 60. So please edit it ☺️
I thought if the new ratio of cats to dog is 2:5, and x = 6, then the following calculation should also result in the current number of dogs: 5 (from the new ratio of dog) * value of x (i.e., 6) = 30. However, I ignored the fact that the common multiplier (x) also changed. Thus, I realized that I can't apply the old x to the new ratio
in the first question, what was asked was "how many sweets DOES Philip have?". this means the no of sweets philip will have after taking 5 sweets from Arif. that would be 65. if the question was how many sweets did philip have then the answer will be 60.
Nice work... but the first question should be 65.. Philip should receive 65 sweet...recall..the question says if...Arif gave 5 sweet to Philip... thus this imlies that Philip should have 5 more sweet in addition to his original 60 sweet...thence making him have 65 sweet... My opinion

your math videos helped me get my quant score up to a 156 and I haven't done math in over 5 years! Thank you!
That is awesome! So glad to hear that Jade. Good luck in the future...

Excellent!
Another weapon to my arsenal. Thanks Phillip 🕺
Your techniques work like magic! You're a mathemagician, Philip! Thanks!

So nice of you
You are amazing tutor who made the math world so simple
Excellent and elegant method. Thank you.
Philip you are such a life saver....
Thanks so much for the support Hansi
u're such GEM phillip!! your math such amazing save my gre math:)🎆
It's always fun and exciting to learn with you sir! thankyou for the best explanation ever ever ever in every video.
Again very nicely explained a tricky topic of GRE. Great!
Thanks a lot! I've greatly benefitted from your video series. Really grateful!
To those who did not understand why Philip have 60 sweets instead of 65,
the question says "if" Arif gave 5 sweets, then Arif and Philip "would have" sweets in the ratio 13: 21.
The "would have" implies that this did not happen and therefore the question does not ask about the current number of sweets.
Thanks! I was scratching my head at that one
ohh yeah damn
Thank you for explaining. I also couldn't understand that

It is phrased as a hypothetical, in Q1. If this happened, then X. But it didn't happen. So they want the original situation
@@TheTestedTutor That's so tricky. Have you seen the GRE word it exactly this way, or are they usually a bit more clear on the language in the first example you gave?
A really well-explained video on advance ratios, it was really helpful. Can you make a video to explain the concepts of Probability in GRE?

Thank you
The tested tutor for these amazing quant hacks
Thanks work!
You're terrific, Philip! Thank you!
best quant channel!
Thank you .. explained with so much simplicity. Can you please make a video on finding missing lengths in a sum of similar triangles ( or perhaps 3 triangles). Such sums appears to be very time consuming.
Ah, similar triangles yes. Good idea. That is on the list now
Super great and clear video! Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks, will do!
Great explanation, thanks!

ok!
Thank you ❤
Thank you again and again.
You are a very nice person.
Thanks nezsa :)
hello! Could you possibly do a video on LCM and GCF?
soo Helpful.. Thank you tutor
You're welcome!
Hey philip in ratio switch, 1 question, the question is asking for how many sweets does philip have ?, which will be 65 but you are answering it in how many sweets does philip had ?, which is 60. So please edit it ☺️
No because the 5 sweets was phrased as 'if'. It didn't actually happen.
Ohh my bad, is this one of gre trap ?
Hey that was a great video
Can u pls comment on Manhattan 1000 words. can they be done instead of Magoosh?
Do both! Yes, it is also good
I thought if the new ratio of cats to dog is 2:5, and x = 6, then the following calculation should also result in the current number of dogs: 5 (from the new ratio of dog) * value of x (i.e., 6) = 30.
However, I ignored the fact that the common multiplier (x) also changed. Thus, I realized that I can't apply the old x to the new ratio
Thankful
Hi, love all of your videos. Can you do a video on Number properties and how to compare fractions? Again, thanks!!
Cool Phillip!!
I mentioned you Arif!
@@TheTestedTutor Honored Mentor/Guru:)
Day 1(11/04/24) : Done
so even though we added the 8 in the initial equation once we find X we need to add the 8 in real time as well. Its tricky!
in the first question, what was asked was "how many sweets DOES Philip have?". this means the no of sweets philip will have after taking 5 sweets from Arif. that would be 65. if the question was how many sweets did philip have then the answer will be 60.
I have the same question. Looks like I have to work my grammar now.
thanks a lot sir :3
Nice work... but the first question should be 65.. Philip should receive 65 sweet...recall..the question says if...Arif gave 5 sweet to Philip... thus this imlies that Philip should have 5 more sweet in addition to his original 60 sweet...thence making him have 65 sweet...
My opinion
💯💯💯
❤❤❤
why not phillip has 65 sweets?. If they wanted us to calculate the sweet before he received 5 extra, they would have stated it
Because the 5 sweets was phrased as 'if', it didn't actually happen
Why not philip have 65 sweets?
Because he's on diet !
@@pulkitkaushik4539 😂
Because thr 5 sweets was phrased as 'if'
