CHAPTER ~ Formulas, Proportions, and Percent Section - Proportions SECTION Proportions INTRODUCTION In this section you will study a special type of equation called a proportion Learning about proportions is important because they have numerous real-life applications You will examine some applications yourself as you learn to set up proportions that model real-world scenarios You will also learn a special technique for solving proportions But first, let s begin with the basics what is a proportion? Think of taking two fractions and inserting an equal sign between them That s a proportion! PROPORTION Definition Math Statement Example A proportion is a statement that two ratios (fractions) are equal a c b d Read a is to b as c is to d Means Ex (Middle Terms) Extremes (Outer Terms) 6 Read is to 6 as is to Means: 6 and Extremes: and PROPORTIONS TRUE OR FALSE Proportions are either true or false We show an example of each below True If we reduce 8 8 we get The two fractions are equal False If we reduce 0 9 0 we do not get 9 The fractions are not equal Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a proportion is true or false by reducing and comparing the fractions For instance, it would be difficult with the proportion 7 7 7 For that reason, there is another method that can be used to determine if a proportion is true or false The method is shown in the following box Page 9
CHAPTER ~ Formulas, Proportions, and Percent Section - Proportions PROPERTY OF PROPORTIONS A proportion is true if and only if the product of the extremes equals the product of the means a b c is true only if a d b c d This can be stated more simply in the following way: A proportion is true only if its cross products are equal a b = c d is true only if ad bc EXAMPLES: Determine if the proportion is true Is a true statement? 6 8 6 = 8 Multiply diagonally to get the cross products? Perform the multiplications on each side 8 6 90 90 Yes, since the cross products are equal, the proportion is true Is 0 9 a true statement? 7 09 = 7? 70 9 Multiply diagonally to get the cross products Perform the multiplications on each side 6 6 No, since the cross products are not equal, the proportion is not true PRACTICE: Determine if the proportion is true Is 7 8 a true statement? Is 8 a true statement? 6 7 Answers: No Yes Page 96
CHAPTER ~ Formulas, Proportions, and Percent Section - Proportions SOLVING A PROPORTION A proportion contains four numbers But in some proportions, only three of the numbers are given and a variable represents the fourth In these types of problems, our goal will be to determine the value of the variable that makes the proportion true We will solve for the variable using a technique involving the cross products The complete procedure is explained below SOLVING A PROPORTION To solve a proportion for a variable: Set the cross products equal to each other by cross multiplying Perform the multiplication on both sides of the equation To isolate the variable, divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient EXAMPLES: Solve each proportion Solve for n: 7 00 This equation is a proportion n 7 00 n 7 n 00 7n 00 7n 00 7 7 n 00 Set the cross products equal to each other by cross multiplying Perform the multiplication on both sides of the equation To isolate the variable, divide by 7 on both sides of the equation This is the answer Solve for x: x 7 x 7 x x x x This equation is a proportion 7 Set the cross products equal to each other by cross multiplying Perform the multiplication on both sides of the equation To isolate the variable, divide by on both sides of the equation This is the answer Page 97
