You are so underrated you explain everything some online teachers just skip out important parts so i never really understand but you explain it so well

Tysm for this video! I was really struggling with solving proportions because i always did it the "relationships" way, so when you explained the cross multiplication method it really helped and now it's super easy.

Simple cross multiplication.
4 * 49 = 196
196 / 7 = X

X= 28 no doubt about that. ✅

28*7 = 196
4* 49 = 196
It checks out. ✅
