Video of the Day " Solving word problems with proportions"


Step by step directions for solving Math word problems involving proportions and a video.
In order to solve word problems with proportions you first set up a proportion.
Next, set up a second ratio with the same information on the numerator and denominator.

 Finally, set these ratios equal, and then cross multiply  

I understand this doesn't involve Geometry, but I recently had some questions about this topic.
