hey hey!!!
instead of writing for market Stalling. (series name drop wogahghwoahgh) and hanging out with my AMAZING girlfriend i’m doing math in my thanksgiving break!!!!
i’m actually having a lot of fun tho so shhhh
6TH GRADE: arithmetic or some shit arithmetic with RATIONAL NUMBERS
uhhh idk :3c
joking!!!
basically uh
think of a fraction!
a rational number is basically just like a fraction, (and ofc, the denominator aka the number below the fraction line is any number but zero) so you have two integers on the top and bottom parts of the line
now onto the math part of it

addition and subtraction is baby stuff
if the denominators are the same you combine or subtract like terms
if the denominators are different, however, there’s this really cool strategy you can use called using LCM otherwise called using the Least Common Multiple
the formula for this is unreasonably annoying and frustrating to look at and I will now torture you with it!!!

stupid thing I won’t need later in life jumpscare

if you can decipher this can you please tell me how you did that thanks.
basicallyyyy you can draw venn diagrams
idgi, honestly
BUT
LCM is the smallest number that multiple numbers can divide into evenly (what???)
so you find the multiples of both denominators iirc
then you mark down every multiple that the two numbers have in common in a table
and the smallest common multiple in that table would be your LCM

!!!!!
big ass announcement!!!
i didnt get through 6th grade math very easily so im going back to my roots
technically it all started during second trimester 5th grade but shush
as much as you hate math, i do too but i just feel overstimulated and need something to take my anger out on

follow along if you dare
6TH GRADE: Ratios :3

I’m not gonna overcomplicate things, this isn’t actual math. This is just more or less
Obviously ratios are the easiest thing on earth, so here are some word problems since I’m running out of words to put on this small screen. I’m also just terrible at explaining ratios because they’re STUPID and make me want to throw up

Oh btw before I do that, this is the simplest thing ever I’m surprised if you didn’t get this- (@wacka wake up sweetheart i need to bully someone)

Here you go, enjoy scrolling past the easiest thing known to mankind (i see you underage sn users) and YES i did steal these how did u know????!!!

Basically ratios are 6 apples but 7 oranges. See what I did there? You take those two subjects and compare them, apples to oranges. NO, NOT APPLES TO ORANGES YOU FUCKING IDIOT. We’re comparing 6 APPLES, to 7 ORANGES.
6 to 7…
THAT is a ratio. 6:7 is also a ratio, 6/7 is also a ratio! You don’t always have to write 6 apples to 7 oranges unless the problem specifically asks you to list what the subject is.

But unfortunately, ‘GOD’ just HAD to grace us with complicated problems within problems.
In the simplest terms I could think up, a ratio is a set of numbers that are compared to one another.
Usually you can think of a ratio as “There are 5 more chickens than the 4 over there,” giving us a 5:4 ratio, or just locking it up with a drawing of 4 chickens and 5 chickens and throwing away the key.
Maybe you’ll see a number line, two of em with numbers on either ends of the smaller lines that face outward I have no idea what they call those.
2 and 9 one one side, then 4 to 18.
The fun thing about this, we’re MULTIPLYING. 9 * 2 is 18. 2 * 2 is 4. We’re going by two’s, so if I were to ask you ‘6 to x,’ you figure out how much they’ve been multiplying by then say ‘6:27’
It’s as shrimple as that.

Then there are tables, not going to delve into that, you already KNOW.
We’re done :3

I know I said were gonna just look a some word problems but fuck that I’m feeling really energetic today
Expect one of these semi daily
bye!
