1 Introduction to Proportions & Using Cross Products Lesson 6-3 & 6-4

2 CCS: 6.RP.3. Use Proportional reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems 6.RP.3.d Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities. Objectives: Students will be able to: –Test Ratios and Proportions –Complete and Identify Proportions –Use cross multiplication to solve proportions

3 Vocabulary A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equal. To prove that two ratios form a proportion, you must prove that they are equivalent. To do this, you must demonstrate that the relationship between numerators is the same as the relationship between denominators.

4 Video Explanations for Proportions Identifying Proportions

5 Examples: Do the ratios form a proportion? 7 10, 21 30 x 3 Yes, these two ratios DO form a proportion, because the same relationship exists in both the numerators and denominators. 8 9, 2 3 ÷ 4 ÷ 3 No, these ratios do NOT form a proportion, because the ratios are not equal.

6 Completing a Proportion Determine the relationship between two numerators or two denominators (depending on what you have). Execute that same operation to find the part you are missing.

7 Example 35 40 = 7 ÷ 5 8

9 Cross Products When you have a proportion (two equal ratios), then you have equivalent cross products. Find the cross product by multiplying the denominator of each ratio by the numerator of the other ratio.

10 Example: Do the ratios form a proportion? Check using cross products. 4 12, 3 9 12 x 3 = 36 9 x 4 = 36 These two ratios DO form a proportion because their cross products are the same.

11 Example 2 5 8, 2 3 8 x 2 = 16 3 x 5 = 15 No, these two ratios DO NOT form a proportion, because their cross products are different.

12 Solving a Proportion Using Cross Products Use the cross products to create an equation. Solve the equation for the variable using the inverse operation.

13 Example: Solve the Proportion k 17 = 20 68 Start with the variable. = 68k17(20) Simplify. 68k=340 Now we have an equation. To get the k by itself, divide both sides by 68. 68 k = 5
