经常问的问题
问:In the last question about gold, the solution did not follow the pattern of setting up the numerators and denominators to match (mentioned in the summary). Actually you crossed the symbols out diagonally. Any advice on how to distinguish when to use this method versus the other of matching the numerators and denominators? The formula seemed quite different than the others and I am just wondering is there any method of knowing which approach to take.
A:I can see how this would be a bit confusing. The most important point here is that the advice to "make sure the units of the numerators and denominators match" only applies toproportions—ratios set equal to each other. Take a在凌晨2点到视频回顾这个问题要查看其中的一个例子:
8克/ 1小时= 30克/小时。
When they are equal to each other like that, you need to match grams with grams and hours with hours (or whatever other units).
When youmultiplyratios, on the other hand, as shown in the question you asked about, you don't need to have the same units in each ratio. Consider this simple case:
John drives 40 mph for 2 hours. How far does he drive?
嗯,那是40米/ 1小时* 2小时,给我们80英里。它们是不同类型的测量,但是当一个测量是“单位B单位B”时,我们可以将它们乘以将它们乘以,第二个测量是“单元B”。例如,每本书20美元和5本书?这是100美元。:-)
20美元/书* 5本书= 100美元< - “书籍”取消,因为我们有(书/书)= 1
For the last problem, we don't have a proportion. We are multiplying the ratios together to get the ratio we want:
1)金的密度 - 或者,换句话说,每单位体积的重量,在这种情况下cm³
2)每重的价格3)立方体的测量
它要求我们在立方体中找到金的价格。
首先,我们发现立方体的体积 - 8cm³
其次,由于我们知道每卷的重量 - 20g /cm³,我们可以找到立方体的重量=8cm³* 20g /cm³= 160g(cm³的取消)
第三,自从我们知道每重的价格,我们可以找到160g = 160g * $ 50 / g = $ 8000的价格
所以你应该问自己的问题:
- Am I setting up a proportion to solve such as (A/B = C/x)? In this case the units of the numerator and denominator need to line up. Otherwise the statement doesn't make sense.

Or, take this example:
每4个袋子5袋5熊每2只熊每2只牛排。
每袋多少甜甜圈?
(5个甜甜圈/ 2熊)*(5熊/ 1虫)*(4个错误/ 10袋)=
100甜甜圈/ 20袋= 5个甜甜圈/包
我希望这是有道理的!:)
问:在冰块块中,我不明白为什么克被取消。我理解为什么数字被简化,但为什么克取消?
A:Great question! That's definitely not something that Mike explains clearly in the video. I'll try to be more explicit here.
视频设置了方程式:
8克/ 1小时= 30克/小时。(I should note here that the "1" hour is implied -- the number 1 here is not really necessary, but it will make this more obvious later).
We simplify that to 4 grams / 1 hour = 15 grams / H hours.
现在我们交叉乘以,保持单位与数字一起。我们得到:
4克* H小时= 15克* 1小时
At this point, we can actually think of the units (the grams and hours) as variables that we can divide out. If we "divide" both sides by grams, we'll get:
4 * H小时= 15 * 1小时
克已经取消了这里。现在,如果我们将双方划分为4,我们得到:
H hours = 15/4 * 1 hours
评估15/4 * 1我们将获得H = 3.75小时,或3小时45分钟。
现在,我在这里过于简化了一点,因为“克”和“小时”不是变量,它们是单位。但是,潜在的思维是相同的 - 如果我们用相同的单位划分两个数字,单位取消了。这实际上是化学的一个非常重要的概念,称为尺寸分析。我们的课程不是我们涵盖的东西,但这是一个良好的视频,解释了尺寸分析。
