Exploring Equivalent Ratios and Unit Rates

This video tutorial covers the concept of equivalent ratios and unit rates through various examples. It begins with a car traveling at a constant speed, demonstrating how to calculate distances over time. The lesson then explores ratios in a salsa recipe, comparing onions to tomatoes. A cost comparison of burrito specials is analyzed to determine the best deal. The tutorial also includes exercises on maintaining a consistent cost per banana and comparing the speeds of two planes. Finally, it calculates how far a car can travel on a full tank and the fuel needed for a specific distance.
