2. Objectives: 1. Define ratio and proportion
2. Identify ways in writing ratios
3. Find equal ratios
4. Solve problems involving ratio and proportion using Microsoft Office Word.
5. Make a reflection using PowerPoint Presentation.

3. Is it good to compare things?

4. When quantities have different measurements, how can they be compared?

5. Ratio
- is a comparison of two quantities

6. Two equal ratios form a PROPORTION.

7. Ratios and Proportions can be written as a Fraction
Ratios and Proportions can be written as a Fraction. We can also use the colon ( : ) in writing ratios and proportions.

8. Let’s Practice! Write the ratio or proportion using colon.
1.) 3 cups of sugar for every 5 cups of Flour
2.) 2 men for every 5 cups of rice
3.) 1 book for every 2 pupils
4.) 4/8 = ½
5.) 3/7 = 12/28

10. Answers
1.) 3:5
2.) 2:5
3.) 1:2
4.) 4:8 = 1:2
5.) 3:7 = 12:28

11. Equal Ratios
To find equal ratios, multiply or divide the given ratio by a fraction equal to 1.

12. Examples 2 3 Solution: Multiply 2 to the given ratio 2 x 2 = 4 3 2 6
Therefore, = 4

13. 8 24 Solution: Divide 8 to the given ratio 8 ÷ 8 = 1 24 8 3
8 ÷ = 1
Therefore, 8 = 1

14. Let’s Practice! Write a ratio equal to each 1.) 1/5 2.) 10/12 3.) 1:2
4.) 2:3
5.) 3:4

19. Proportion A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal.
In a proportion, the product of the means is always equal to the product of the extremes =

20. To find the missing part of the proportion:
Multiply the given ratio by a fraction equal to 1 or use the cross product method
Multiply the means or the extremes. Then divide by the third given number

21. Examples: 1.) 8 = 32 7 n 8n= 224 8n = 224 divide both side by 8 8
1.) 8 = 32 n
Solution: Use the cross product method
8n= 224
8n = 224 divide both side by 8 8
n = therefore, 8 = 32

22. 2.) 3 : 5 = n : 25
Solution: Multiply the means or the extremes
3 : 5 = n : 25
3 x 25 = 75
5 x n = 75
n = 75 ÷ 5
n = 15

23. Let’s Practice A. Find n. Use cross products 1. n = 18 2. 5 = 13B.
Find n.
: 24 = n : 6
: 28 = n : 42

27. Solving Problem Involving Ratio and Proportion

28. Remember:
There are basic steps in solving a problem :
Understand, Plan, Carry out the plan and Check.

29. Problem
For every 3 metres of bamboo sticks, three boys can make 5 frames of Christmas lanterns. How many lantern frames can they make with 15 metres of bamboo sticks?

30. Think What does the problem ask for? What are given?
The number of lantern frames that can be made from 5m of bamboo sticks
What are given?
3m of bamboo sticks
3 boys
5 lantern frames
15m of bamboo sticks
Will I need all the given numbers
The problem is about comparing number of sticks to number of frames. The number of boys is not needed.

31. PLAN How will I find the answer?
Compare the number of metres of bamboo to number of frames.
What is the number sentence?
3 = 15 n

32. Give the complete answer
Carry Out the Plan
Solve = n
5(15) = 75
3n = 75 ÷ 3
n = 25
Give the complete answer
The boys can make 25 lantern frames

33. Is the computation correct?
Check
Is the answer sensible?
3 metres can make 5 lantern frames. There are five 3s in 15
5 x 5 = 25 (number of lantern frames) The answer is sensible.
Is the computation correct?
Check
3 x 25 = 75
The computation is correct.
