I've never searched the whole page, but I'd recommend 2 math YouTubers I think I really good.
The Math Queen: woman named Suzanna that is really, really good at demonstrating math problems.
Tablet Class Math: teacher named John who us also very good. Gets a little off on tangents, compared to Suzanna, but still really good.
I'm assuming they have fractions lessons. Everything I've watched that the do is trig, calculus, geometry & probability. They do word problems too, and Suzanna is great at those.
My Tip: say you only want 2/3rds of a recipe. The recipe call for 1.25 cups of xyz.
1.25 × ⅔ = 2.5÷3, or 5 over 6. Since a cup is 8oz., (5×8)÷6, or 40 divided by 6. So, 2/3rds is 6⅔ ounces. (⅚ths of a cup)
You will seldom be dividing fractions for cooking, so multiplication is pretty much all you need.
