All Fractions are ratios
Example 3(15) = 5(9) Example
4 qts in gal 1000 mg in a g 16 oz in a 1 lb 3 ft in a 1 yd
12 in. in a ft 24 hours in a day 100 cm in a m 1760 yds in a mi
To Solve a Proportion Cross Multiply 24x = 6(9) 24x = 54 6y = 9(4) 6y = 36 24m = 17(120) 24m = 2040
To Solve a Proportion Cross Multiply 6(x + 3) = 8x 6x + 18 = 8x 18 = 2x 9 = x 4(y – 4) = 3(y + 3) 4y – 16 = 3y + 9 y = 25 5y = 3(2y – 7) 5y = 6y – 21 -y = - 21 y = 21
2(20) = 5x 40 = 5x 8 = x
3x = 9(4) 3x = 36 x = 12
8x = 5(44) 8x = 220
