  1. 4-1 Ratios & Proportions

  2. Notes A ratio is a comparison of two quantities. Ratios can be written in several ways. 7 to 5, 7:5, and name the same ratio.

  3. 15 ÷ 3 9 ÷ 3 bikes skateboards Example 1: Writing Ratios in Simplest Form Write the ratio 15 bikes to 9 skateboards in simplest form. 15 9 Write the ratio as a fraction. = 5 3 Simplify. = = 5 3 The ratio of bikes to skateboards is , 5:3, or 5 to 3.

  4. shirts jeans 24 ÷ 3 9 ÷ 3 Check It Out! Example 2 Write the ratio 24 shirts to 9 jeans in simplest form. Write the ratio as a fraction. 24 9 = 8 3 Simplify. = = 8 3 The ratio of shirts to jeans is , 8:3, or 8 to 3.

  5. Practice • 15 cows to 25 sheep • 24 cars to 18 trucks • 30 Knives to 27 spoons

  6. When simplifying ratios based on measurements, write the quantities with the same units, if possible.

  7. 3 yards 12 feet 9 ÷ 3 12 ÷ 3 = = = 3 4 3 4 The ratio is , 3:4, or 3 to 4. Example 3: Writing Ratios Based on Measurement Write the ratio 3 yards to 12 feet in simplest form. First convert yards to feet. 3 yards = 3 ● 3 feet There are 3 feet in each yard. Multiply. = 9 feet Now write the ratio. 9 feet 12 feet Simplify.

  8. 36 inches 4 feet 36 ÷ 12 48 ÷ 12 = = = 3 4 3 4 The ratio is , 3:4, or 3 to 4. Check It Out! Example 3 Write the ratio 36 inches to 4 feet in simplest form. First convert feet to inches. 4 feet = 4 ● 12 inches There are 12 inches in each foot. = 48 inches Multiply. Now write the ratio. 36 inches 48 inches Simplify.

  9. Practice • 4 feet to 24 inches • 3 yards to 12 feet • 2 yards to 20 inches

  10. Notes Ratios that make the same comparison are equivalent ratios. To check whether two ratios are equivalent, you can write both in simplest form.

Kate poured 8 oz of juice from a 64 oz bottle. Brian poured 16 oz of juice from a 128 oz bottle. Are the ratios of poured juice to starting amount of juice equivalent?

  15. Vocabulary • A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equal. To prove that two ratios form a proportion, you must prove that they are equivalent. To do this, you must demonstrate that the relationship between numerators is the same as the relationship between denominators.

  16. Examples: Do the ratios form a proportion? x 3 Yes, these two ratios DO form a proportion, because the same relationship exists in both the numerators and denominators. 7 21 , 10 30 x 3 ÷ 4 8 2 No, these ratios do NOT form a proportion, because the ratios are not equal. , 9 3 ÷ 3

  17. Example ÷ 5 3 7 = 8 40 ÷ 5

  18. Cross Products • When you have a proportion (two equal ratios), then you have equivalent cross products. • Find the cross product by multiplying the denominator of each ratio by the numerator of the other ratio.

  19. Example: Do the ratios form a proportion? Check using cross products. 4 3 , 12 9 These two ratios DO form a proportion because their cross products are the same. 12 x 3 = 36 9 x 4 = 36

  20. Example 2 5 2 , 8 3 No, these two ratios DO NOT form a proportion, because their cross products are different. 8 x 2 = 16 3 x 5 = 15

  21. Solving a Proportion Using Cross Products • Use the cross products to create an equation. • Solve the equation for the variable using the inverse operation.

  22. Example 1: Solve the Proportion Start with the variable. 20 k = 17 68 Simplify. Now we have an equation. To get the k by itself, divide both sides by 68. 68k 17(20) = 68k = 340 68 68 k 5 =

  23. Example 2: Solve the Proportion Start with the variable. Simplify. Now we have an equation. Solve for x. 2x(30) 5(3) = 60x = 15 60 60 x ¼ =

  24. Example 3: Solve the Proportion = Start with the variable. Simplify. Now we have an equation. Solve for x. (2x +1)3 5(4) = 6x + 3 = 20 x =

  25. Example 4: Solve the Proportion = Cross Multiply. Simplify. Now we have an equation with variables on both sides. Solve for x. 3x 4(x+2) = 3x = 4x + 8 x -8 =
