How To Simplify 3 Ratios | Math Help Videos | Teach Math | Learn Math | Math Resources

This video walks through the step-by-step process for simplifying 3 or more ratios.

In this video I cover:

How to find factors of numbers in a ratio
Identifying the greatest common factor of those numbers
Dividing the ratio numbers by that greatest common factor
How to simplify multiple ratios

This video really help I thought this would be a lot more difficult but you explained it really well

But sir what if u dont have a common factor?

[ImprovedMath]

This video applies to not only 3 ratios but any problem that has more than 2. Try some examples on your own and let me know if it helps!

Ma'am what is the logic behind taking common factor please explain

What if we are given with variables not natural numbers ?

Sy rasa bisa pakai suara untuk menjelaskannya?? 😊

I feel like this is unnecessarily hard for our juniors.
I am not saying nobody will understand it but I have a gut feeling that many will be confused.

Instead of finding the LCM of each separately (which wastes a lot of time and requires more mental use) how about we simplify all of them together?

I am sorry I am not good at explaining things, so you might do a better job than me.

Here's an example:
Simplify 96:96:160

2/ 96, 96, 160
2/ 48, 48, 80
2/ 24, 24, 40
2/ 12, 12, 20
2/ 6, 6, 10
= 3, 3, 5

Since this can no longer be simplified, this is the simplest form of this ratio which is: 3:3:5.

I know most of you don't know what factorisation is (it's after 7th grade), but factorisation can also be used in most cases as a quicker alternative.
