Proportions – What are they??
• Proportions are a way to relate information.
• They compare two ratios.

Proportions – What are they??
Proportion = a pair of equal ratios5 15=10 30

How do we tell if something really is a
proportion?Method 1: Put both sides in lowest terms.
5 15=10 30÷5÷5
÷15÷15

How do we tell if something really is a
proportion?Method 1: Put both sides in lowest terms.
1 1=2 2The fractions are
the same, so it is a true
proportion.

How do we tell if something really is a
proportion?Method 2: Find the
cross products.6 2=3 1

0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011Cross-Product
Multiply the numerator of one ratios by the
denominator of the other ratio.
6 2=3 1 6×1=6
3×2=6
4251 3
0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011Cross-Product
If the cross products are equal, the then ratios are
equal, and it is a true proportion.6 2=3 1 6×1=63×2=6 The cross
products are the same, so it is a true proportion.

Are these proportions equal?
Method 1 – Lowest Terms

Are these proportions equal?
Method 1 – Lowest Terms
78=9 8No – they are not equal!!

Are these proportions equal?
Method 2 – Cross Products
148=9 168×16=1289×14=126No – they are not
equal!!

Are these proportions equal?
611=22 12YES – they are equal!!

Are these proportions equal?
93=4 12YES – they are equal!!

Now, let’s try something harder
Sometimes, we will only know 3 of the 4 values in a
proportion. The missing value is a VARIABLE. Take a
look….51 =10 Z Z is the variable

0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011
Now, let’s try something harder
When we have a variable, we can still cross-multiply.
51 =10 Z10×5 = 501×Z = 1Z
4251 3
0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011
Now, let’s try something harder
What do you think we are going to do now?
51 =10 Z10×5 = 501×Z = 1Z
Write the cross products equal to each other.

0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011
Now, let’s try something harder
What do you think we are going to do now?
50 = 1ZWrite the cross products
equal to each other.
4251 3
0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011
Now, let’s try something harder
What do you think we are going to do next?
50 = 1ZIt is an equation so we are
going to do the inverse - DIVIDE.

0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011
Now, let’s try something harder
What do you think we are going to do next?
50 = 1Z
It is an equation so we are going to do the inverse -
DIVIDE.
50 ÷ Z = 50 so Z = 50

0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011Let’s try again
Solve for the variable:
8×15 = 1204×X = 4X
4X = 120
120÷4=30
so X = 30
84 =15 X

0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011Here are some steps:
1.) Cross multiply.2.) Write the cross-products equal to each other.3.) Divide the number by itself by the number with the variable.4.) Write your answer as x = …
