Understanding Ratios in Ovals

Mr. Uruti explains a practice problem from Unit 2, Lesson 1, focusing on identifying which shape is different by comparing the width and height ratios of three ovals. He demonstrates how to calculate and compare these ratios, showing that Oval C has a different ratio than Ovals A and B, which share the same ratio. The lesson concludes with a summary of the findings.

What is the main task in the problem discussed in the video?

• To calculate the perimeter of each shape

• To determine the color of each shape

• To find the area of each shape

• To identify which shape is different using ratios

What is the ratio of height to width for Oval A?

• 5:4

• 4:5

• 8:10

• 6:10

How does the ratio of Oval B compare to Oval A?

• It is smaller

• It is different

• It is the same

• It is larger

What is the ratio of height to width for Oval C?

• 5:4

• 6:10

• 8:10

• 4:5

Why is Oval C considered different from the others?

• It is smaller in size

• It has a different color

• It has a different ratio

• It is larger in size

What method is used to verify the differences in shapes?

• By measuring the area

• By checking the color

• By using measurements and ratios

• By comparing the perimeters

What is the importance of writing ratios in this problem?

• To identify differences in shape

• To determine the color

• To calculate the area

• To find the perimeter
