Cars and Trucks Ratio Concepts

Mrs. Bobby introduces Lesson 13, focusing on ratio tables and variables. The lesson explains how variables represent unknown numbers and how to use ratio tables to solve problems. It covers modeling relationships with equations and explores different ways to represent these equations. The lesson concludes with applying these concepts to real-world problems and a personal note from the teacher.
