Bad Date (A Real World Application of Ratios)

In this video from Math Snacks, a women goes on three dates, after which she analyzes the ratio of how many words she speaks compared to the number of words her date speaks. By attaining a 1:1 ratio of words, she attains her "Happily Ever After." (Apparently, in her eyes, this is the only desirable quality in a man that really matters.) A learner's guide, teachers guide, and transcript of the video is included.
