Understanding Ratios and Play Times

The video tutorial explains how to solve a problem involving the ratio of indoor to outdoor playtimes for a class. It begins by introducing the problem and then sets up a table to organize the information. The concept of ratios is explained, and the video demonstrates how to calculate the actual number of indoor and outdoor playtimes using the given total playtimes. The solution maintains the original ratio while providing the actual counts.

What is the ratio of indoor to outdoor play times for Yusuf's class?

• 3:5

• 3:2

• 2:3

• 1:2

How many total play times did Yusuf's class have?

What is the original ratio of indoor to total play times?

• 3:2

• 2:3

• 3:5

• 2:5

What is the ratio of outdoor to total play times?

• 5:3

How do you ensure the ratios are maintained when calculating actual counts?

• By subtracting the same number from each ratio

• By multiplying each part of the ratio by the same number

• By adding the same number to each ratio

• By dividing each part of the ratio by the same number

Why is it important to verify the calculated play times?

• To check if the play times are equal

• To ensure the total play times are correct

• To compare with other classes
