      Glad to hear it! This multiply by x technique applies to ratios across other subjects such as geometry.

    Thank you, I am refreshing my own math at age 51 to help my cousin's son via zoom sessions struggling with math, and although I was a wizz in high school I'd forgotten, after 45 minutes of searching videos, yours was what i needed to find ... thank you !!

    Quick: add all the ratios, which is 15. Divide by total which is 135. You divide 135 by 15, which is 9. Then in the ratio , elephants are 7 , so multiply 9 × 7= 63

    What if there were only 3:5 and only 135 animals totals ? (Cats and dogs?) could I use this same method you did ?

    • @vinteachesmath
      @vinteachesmath  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      With those numbers, it would not work out assuming you cannot have partial animals. 3x + 5x = 135 would give a decimal value of x.

    • @vinteachesmath
      @vinteachesmath  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Write all three values and separate them with colons.. Divide each number by the greatest common factor between them so the ratio is reduced.

  • @simplymusic1163
    @simplymusic1163 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I still need help- This is the problem our teacher gave us: Aaron made a bag of trail mix of peanuts, raisins, and chocolate chips in the ratio of peanuts:raisins:chocolate chips = 5:3:2. There are 150 raisins in the trail mix. How many peanuts and chocolate chips are in the trail mix?

    • @vinteachesmath
      @vinteachesmath  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      5x + 3x + 2x = 150, 10x=150, x=15, so there are 5(15)=75 peanuts, 3(15)=45 raisins, and 2(15) = 30 chocolate chips.

      That was given in the original question, there were 135 animals in total. Otherwise, we cannot get an equation set up! If you need more help, stop by one of my weekly live streams, I run them on Wednesdays at 8:30PM eastern time. I hope your school year is going well!

    "A" has a ratio of 9:3 WITH "B". If B is 270,000. What is the value of "A"?

    • @vinteachesmath
      @vinteachesmath  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If the ratio of A:B is 9:3, Then 3B = A, so A = 3(270,000) = 810,000

    What is X and how did he get it ?

    • @vinteachesmath
      @vinteachesmath  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Think of the following list of ratios; 1:2, 2:4, 3:6, and notice that they are all equal. If I multiply the terms by x; 1x:2x, it allows me to express every ratio is equivalent to 1:2.. The benefit of this is that it allows us to solve for the particular set of numbers that match the conditions in the word problem.

    An alternative way is to add 3,5,and 7. Then you get 15, and since the question is asking for elephants, you do 7/15 which is 7 fifteenths. Then you multiply 7/15 by 135, and you get 63. Hope this helps everyone!
