Objective SWBAT write and solve proportions SWBAT write and solve proportions

RATE – a fraction in which the numerator and the denominator have different units of measure. RATIO- uses division to compare two quantities of the SAME MEASURE.

Proportion- an equation that states that two ratios/rates are equivalent. Section 6.2 “Writing and Solving Proportions” “a is to b as c is to d”

Solving a Proportion Solve a proportion by finding the value of the variable. One way to solve a proportion is to write both fractions with the same denominator (think of equivalent fractions). = You need to find a value of n so that is equivalent to =

Use Algebra to Solve Proportions x30 = Write original proportion. Multiply each side by = x Simplify. 55 = x Divide x30 = x30 Solve the proportion 11 6 =. How can we get ‘x’ by itself? get ‘x’ by itself?

Try It Out… x = Write original proportion. Multiply each side by Simplify. x = 3 Divide. x = Solve the proportion x =. x = How can we get ‘x’ by itself? get ‘x’ by itself?

Solve the Following Proportions: = = = = = =
