  2. What Are You Learning? I CAN solve proportions.

  3. Why Do You Need To Know This? • Proportions can be used to compare different types of items. • Proportions are useful because they allow objects to be compared equally. • They can be used many ways in the real world.

  4. Vocabulary • Proportion—an equation that shows that two ratios are equivalent. • Cross Product—the product of the numerator of one ratio and the denominator of the other ratio.

  5. Notes 1 = 3 2 6 1 x 6 is a cross product. 2 x 3 is a cross product. • The cross products of a proportion are equal. • Two ratios form a proportion if their cross products are equal.

  6. Determine whether each pair of ratios form a proportion. • ¾ and 9/12 • 8/12 and 14/21 • 4/5 and 5/6 • 25/40 and 5/8 • 13/15 and 4/5 • 49/21 and 28/12

  7. Notes • Solving the proportion—Process of using cross products to find a missing term in a proportion. • Solving a proportion is similar to solving an equation.

  8. Example x = 4 9 6 x • 6 = 9 • 4 (Cross multiply) 6x = 36 (Solve for the variable) 6x = 36 (Divide to undo multiplication 6 6 x = 6

  9. Solve each proportion. When necessary, round to the nearest tenth. • 15/30 = n/34 • h/36 = 21/27 • 26/15 = 130/m • 36/j = 7/20 • r/23 = 17/34 • 77/93 = x/24
