your math videos helped me get my quant score up to a 156 and I haven't done math in over 5 years! Thank you!

That is awesome! So glad to hear that Jade. Good luck in the future...

To those who did not understand why Philip have 60 sweets instead of 65, the question says "if" Arif gave 5 sweets, then Arif and Philip "would have" sweets in the ratio 13: 21. The "would have" implies that this did not happen and therefore the question does not ask about the current number of sweets.

@walaaag1560 4 года назад

Thanks for the great tips. When I solved it before checking your answer I assumed the questions asks about the new amount that Philip has which would be 6x+5 = 65. Pointing out that question doesn't seem to ask for the original amount. In all cases, you made the point very clear. Thanks a lot.

@TheTestedTutor 4 года назад

Excellent!

@abhishekpavani1779 4 года назад

What's unclear in the question is the fact that whether they are asking us to determine the number of sweets Phillip has before or the number of sweets Phillip has after Arif gives him 5. So the answer can be 60 or 65. What are your thoughts ?

@TheTestedTutor 4 года назад

It is phrased as a hypothetical, in Q1. If this happened, then X. But it didn't happen. So they want the original situation

Hey Philip, could you please enable the auto-generated English closed captions on all your videos?

Hey philip in ratio switch, 1 question, the question is asking for how many sweets does philip have ?, which will be 65 but you are answering it in how many sweets does philip had ?, which is 60. So please edit it ☺️

@TheTestedTutor 2 года назад

No because the 5 sweets was phrased as 'if'. It didn't actually happen.

Hey @thetestedtutor, Can you solve this question with your own method and tricks? Oil, vinegar, and water are mixed in a 3 to 2 to 1 ratio to make salad dressing. If Larry has 8 cups of oil, 7 cups of vinegar, and access to any amount of water, what is the maximum number of cups of salad dressing he can make with the ingredients he has available, if fractional cup measurements are possible?

@supratimsarkar4164 4 года назад

I thought if the new ratio of cats to dog is 2:5, and x = 6, then the following calculation should also result in the current number of dogs: 5 (from the new ratio of dog) * value of x (i.e., 6) = 30. However, I ignored the fact that the common multiplier (x) also changed. Thus, I realized that I can't apply the old x to the new ratio

Nice work... but the first question should be 65.. Philip should receive 65 sweet...recall..the question says if...Arif gave 5 sweet to Philip... thus this imlies that Philip should have 5 more sweet in addition to his original 60 sweet...thence making him have 65 sweet... My opinion

@ZahidAhmedsyed 2 года назад

in the first question, what was asked was "how many sweets DOES Philip have?". this means the no of sweets philip will have after taking 5 sweets from Arif. that would be 65. if the question was how many sweets did philip have then the answer will be 60.
