Okay, so I'm 45 and finding myself starting school from scratch to further my career. I used to be EXCELLENT at math in high school. I went up to calculus. Math feels so foreign to me, now.

The very first explanation you gave on what proportion is was SO GOOD. I'm going to explore this channel!

I have brain damage...and I'm pretty good at math...usually, but your explanation here helped me reconnect to that part of my brain that was questioning my formula...Thanks!

Thanks so much, I'm continuing my son's education throughout the summer to cover areas missed from the pandemic's lack of continuity in education.

Thank you for your teaching.
In the numbers rational propotions they can also be solved in this way
Ex: 3/5 =X/15
X=9 3/5

Molt 5X3=15
Molt 3X3=9
X=9
2EX : 1/2= X/6
2x3=6
3x1= 3
[X =3

Thank you so much, I have lived my whole life thinking I was unteachable in regard to math. Tried it at school and failed, tried it again in college and failed and so gave up. That was until now. Something just clicked by the way you teach. :0)
