Algebra I: Getting started - Ratio of monomials and polynomials
This is a free lesson from our course in Algebra I
 
   
This lesson explains the concept of a ratio. A ratio is a way of comparing a pair of numbers or variables. Properties of ratio:
• ratios can be written either using a colon to separate the quantities being compared or as a fraction.
• to express any comparison as a ratio, first write the numbers as a fraction, then reduce the fraction to its lowest terms.
• multiple term ratios - Three Term Ratios to be precise.
Triple ratio a : b : c is read as a to b to c. You further write a : b: c :: A: B: C to say two triple ratios a : b: c and A: B: C are equal or equivalent when and only when a/b = A/B and b/c = B/C (More text below video...)

(Continued from above) Take the case of two variables a and b. You can compare these two values by showing them as a ratio a : b or as a/b. For example, the ratio of boys and girls in a class with three boys and two girls is 3 : 2. You'll also learn how it is possible to have different sets of numbers which have the same ratio, and how they can be arrived at by multiplying the ratio with a common multiple.
As many of you know, Winpossible's online courses use a unique teaching method where an instructor explains the concepts in any given area to you in his/her own voice and handwriting, just like you see your teacher explain things to you on a blackboard in your classroom. This particular lesson includes the teacher's instruction, practice questions as well as end-of-lesson quizzes for practice. As we mentioned above, you can enroll in our online course in Algebra I by clicking here.

The format of Winpossible's online courses is also very suitable for teachers who are using an interactive whiteboard such as Smartboard on Promethean in their classrooms, because the course lessons can be easily displayed on such interactive whiteboards. Volume pricing is available for schools interested in our online courses. For more information, please contact us at educators@winpossible.com.
