Ratio Tables and Distance Calculations

Miss McPhee introduces a math homework video for Math 6, focusing on ratios and ratio tables. The video includes a detailed explanation of a problem involving a cyclist's speed, demonstrating how to use ratio tables to find the solution. Alternative methods are also discussed. The video concludes with encouragement for students to complete their homework and a reminder of upcoming lessons.
