4-3 Proportions A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equal. Key Concepts Arithmetic 1 = a = c b d Algebra

One method of testing whether ratios form a proportion is to write both ratios in simplest form, then see if they are equal. I do: ÷2 ÷ Since both ratios are equal to 5/12, they form proportion

Let’s try it together. We do: ÷7 ÷ The ratios in simplest form are not equivalent. They do not form a proportion. Example 1

Quick Check 1 You do: ÷2 ÷ The ratios in simplest form are not equivalent. They do not form a proportion. Do 10/12 and 40/56 form a proportion?

Cross Products Property Cross products are the two products found by multiplying the denominator of each ratio by the numerator of the other ratio. Arithmetic 6 = a = c b d Algebra 6×12 = 8×9ad = bc If two ratios form a proportion, the cross products are equal. If two ratios have equal cross products, they form a proportion. Key Concepts

I do: ×9 = 6×12 72 = 72 Since the cross-products are equal, the ratios form a proportion.

Let’s try it together. We do: Example , 15 a. b , 7 10×6 = 60 4×15 = 60 Does form a proportion 8×7 = 56 6×9 = 54 Does not form a proportion

Quick Check 2 You do: Determine whether the ratios form a proportion 3 6 8, 16 a , 6 b , 9 c. Does form a proportion Does not form a proportion
