Exploring Writing Ratios in Lesson 21

The video tutorial explains how to write ratios in three different ways using examples of zoo animals. It covers comparing the number of monkeys to elephants, elephants to the total number of animals, lions to giraffes, and giraffes to the total number of zoo animals. Each example demonstrates how to express ratios as 'a to b', 'a:b', and 'a/b'.
