SETTING UP and SOLVING RATIOS AND PROPORTIONS
2
Ratio – Comparison of 2 numbers by division.
Ex. 1:2, ½, 1 to 2 Proportion – An equation stating that 2 ratios are equal. a:b = c:d Extremes – The last (or end) terms of a proportion. a and d are the extremes Means – The middle terms of the proportion. b and c are the means

Ex 4 Ex 5 A manufacturer can produce
1140 parts in 4 hours. What is the unit rate in parts per hour? Ex 5 Write the ratio as a rate in lowest terms: $3.90 for 6 muffins
7
Ex 6 There is a law stating the ratio of the width to length of the American flag should be 10 to 19. Which is not the correct ratio?
8
Ex 7 Which of the following pairs of ratios do not form a proportion? Which ones do? Cross Multiply Yes Yes Not a proportion Yes
9
Set up and solve this proportion.
8) 5 is to 4 as 45 is to x. 5 Now cross multiply 45 ____ = ____ 4 x 5x = 180 5 5 x = 36
10
First - Set up & solve the proportion.
9) 3 is to 2 as x is to 18. 3 Now cross multiply x ____ = ____ 2 18 2x = 54 2 2 x = 27
11
NO set up this time!! Just solve….. 10) 6x = 144 6 6 x = 24
12
You try it!! 11) Now Reduce 16m = 8 16 16 m =

12) Mr. Jones has taken a survey of college students and found that 40 out of 47 students are liberal arts majors. If a college has 10,827 students, what is the number of students who are liberal arts majors, rounded to the nearest whole number? First – Set up Your proportion! 40 x ____ = _______ 47 10,827 47x = 433,080 Now cross multiply 47 47 x = 9214

13) Geothermal energy is heat from inside the earth
13) Geothermal energy is heat from inside the earth. Underground temperatures generally increase 9°C for every 300 meters of depth. How deep would a well have to be for the temperature to reach 216°C ? First – Set up Your proportion! 9° 216° ____ = _____ 300 m 9m = 64800 9 9 m = 7200
15
1cm 11cm 30km x 1x = 330 x = 330 km ____ = _____
14) A map has a scale of 1 cm = 30 km. If two cities are 11 cm apart on the map, what is the actual distance between the two cities to the nearest tenth of a km? First – Set up Your proportion! 1cm 11cm ____ = _____ 30km x 1x = 330 x = 330 km
16
Ex 6 Set up & Solve proportions
A regional forestry division wanted to estimate the number of deer in a particular national park. They caught and tagged 76 deer and released them back into the park. Later they selected a sample of 225 deer. Of these 225 deer, 15 were tagged. What is the best estimate of the number of deer in the park?
