2 What does it mean to be proportional?

3 When two ratios are equal, they are PROPORTIONAL Example: 2 = 6 5 15 5 x 6 = 30 2 x 15 = 30 Look! There cross Products are equal!!

4 Try These 6 ? 9 8 12 2 ? 7 3 10

5 Are these equal proportions? 6 feet 9 feet 10 sec 15 sec ?=?= 4 feet 12 sec 6 ft 18 sec ?=?= 5 feet 4 sec 10 sec 8 ft ?=?= The units are the same going across The units are NOT the same going across or down The units are the same going down

6 Try These 5 miles ? 15 hour 2 hours = 6 miles $12 ? $3 32 min 8 min

7 What does “n” equal? 10 n 15 3

8 Solving Proportions Using Cross Products 1)Cross Multiply 2)Divide both sides by the value next to x 3) Solve and label

9 Practice Problems 8 6 12 x =

10 4 6 x 15 =

11 x 3 15 5 =
