Intro to Linear Equations
A linear equation is an equation that describes a straight line on a graph. You can remember this by the “line” part of the name linear equation. Standard Form Linear equations have a standard form that looks like this: Ax + By = C Where A and B are coefficients (numbers) while x and y… Continue reading Intro to Linear Equations
Are ratios the same as fractions?
We often write ratios as fractions, especially to help us to do the math, but are they the same as fractions? Generally ratios are best written as fractions when the second term, called the consequent term, is the total of the set. For example, if we have 8 apples and 12 oranges, our ratio of… Continue reading Are ratios the same as fractions?
Ratios, Fractions, & Percentages
As we discussed in ratios for kids, ratios can be written as fractions. We can do this to help reduce ratios to their simplest form. Here’s an example of using fractions to help reduce the ratio: Reduce the ratio 6:72 to its simplest form 6:72 can be written as the fraction 6/726/72 can be reduced to 3/36… Continue reading Ratios, Fractions, & Percentages
