- That was the quickest video I have ever seen on Khan academy so far!
But I did watch it on x1.5 so.... that did make it go faster. I am in a rush to get 30 minutes by the end of the week for an assignment and my teacher hasn't posted anything new so I am speed-watching old stuff for review. I also have a bunch of tests on Friday and Thursday so I'm trying to study more by doing this quicker. It still helps, but I know all of this anyway. I am learning similar figures right now.(3 votes)- go on and share ur life(3 votes)
- i do not understand this. do you?(2 votes)
- Well I haven't seen the video yet so I don't know.But if you don't understand just watch the video again and listen carefully or ask question's I hope this helps :)(1 vote)
Video transcript
The following table
describes the relationship between the number of
servings of spaghetti bolognese-- I don't know
if I'm pronouncing that-- or bolognese, and the
number of tomatoes needed to prepare them. Test the ratios for
equivalents, and determine whether the relationship
is proportional. Well, you have a
proportional relationship between the number of servings
and the number of tomatoes is if the ratio of
the number of servings to the number of tomatoes
is always the same. Or if the ratio of
the number of tomatoes to the number of servings
is always the same. So let's just think about the
ratio of the number of tomatoes to the number of servings. So it's 10 to 6, which is
the same thing as 5 to 3. So here the ratio is 5 to 3. 15 to 9, if you divide both
of these by 3, you get 5 to 3. So it's the same ratio. 15 to 25, if you divide both
of these by 5, you get 5 to 3. So based on this data,
it looks like the ratio between the number of tomatoes
and the number of servings is always constant. So yes, this relationship
is proportional.
