Grade 4 - Division - Horizontal Ratio Table in a Word Problem

In this video, we revisit the ratio table strategy, this time using a horizontal format to solve a word problem. The scenario involves calculating how many books Ali bought by dividing the total cost by the price per book. We demonstrate how to build the ratio table step by step, adding groups of the divisor until the total matches the dividend.

This approach helps students break down the problem into manageable parts, reinforcing their understanding of division and the practical application of ratio tables. We also emphasize the importance of correctly labeling the final answer, especially in the context of word problems.
