Exploring Ratios with BrainPOP

The video tutorial explains the concept of ratios, using a cleaning solution as an example. It describes how ratios compare two quantities by division and are useful for comparing parts to a whole. The tutorial provides an example with floor squares to illustrate how ratios can be simplified. It concludes with a cautionary note about safety when using cleaning solutions.
