Exploring Rates and Ratios

The video tutorial covers lesson 5.1 on ratios and rates, introducing key vocabulary such as ratio, rate, and unit rate. It provides examples of finding ratios and rates, including a practical example involving a subway car. The lesson also demonstrates how to use a ratio table to find unit rates and explains complex fractions with a focus on calculating speed. The tutorial concludes with an exit ticket for students to complete.
