Splitting Tiles Using a Ratio

This animation breaks down a 2:3 ratio problem from the ASVAB using 10 tiles total. It shows how to split the ratio into equal parts, find the value of one part, and multiply to get the red tile count. The visual groups tiles into 5 equal sets of 2, making the abstract ratio concept concrete. Useful for students preparing for the ASVAB or practicing basic ratio and proportion word problems in algebra.
