RATIO and PROPORTION

The document discusses three types of ratios and proportions: direct proportion, inverse proportion, and partitive proportion. Direct proportion describes a relationship where two quantities increase or decrease at the same rate. Inverse proportion describes an inverse relationship where one quantity increases as the other decreases at the same rate. Partitive proportion involves dividing a whole quantity into parts according to a given ratio.

Simplest form of Ratio
2 Equivalent Ratio
2 stars to 6 hearts
are ratios that have the same The ratio of stars to hearts is
value when simplified 2:6

can be obtained by multiplying or This is equivalent to


dividing both sides by the same
non-zero number 1 star to 3 hearts
The ratio of stars to hearts is
1:3
Writing Equivalent Ratio

ratios can be
SIMPLIFIED
the terms of the ratio can be divided by
the same factor to create a simplified
ratio, just like fractions

3 Kinds of Proportion

 Direct Proportion

 Inverse Proportion

 Partitive Proportion
Direct Proportion
 as one quantity increases or decreases, the
other quantity increases or decreases at
the same rate and vice versa.

a b or a b
Example:

Two jeepneys can transport 40 people. How


many jeepneys are needed to transport 80
people?
Step 1: Identify the quantities used in the problem.
2 n
No. of jeepneys
No. of people 40 80

Step 2: Set up a proportion.


2 n
40 80
Step 3: Find the missing term.
160 ÷ 40 4
2 n n 4 jeepneys
40 80
Inverse Proportion
 one quantity increases, as the other
quantity decreases, at the same rate and
vice versa.

a b or a b
Example:

If 12 men can finish a work in 9 days,


how many men can finish the same in 6
days?
Step 1: Identify the quantities used in the problem.
12 n
No. of men
No. of days 9 6
Step 2: Set up a proportion as indirect by
interchanging the position of n horizontally.

12 n n 12
9 6 9 6
Step 3: Find the missing term.
6 108 108 ÷ 6 18
n 12 n 18 men
9 6
Partitive Proportion
 a whole is divided into parts
that are proportional to the
given ratio.
Example:

A glass of jar has 64 chocolates. Jeff,


Lea, and Dane will share the chocolates
in the ratio of 1:1:2. How many
chocolates will each of them will get?
Step 1: Find the sum of the ratio.
1:1:2 1 1 2 4
Step 2: Divide the base by the sum.
64 4 16
Step 3: Multiply each quantity by the quotient.

16 1 16 chocolates Jeff
16 1 16 chocolates Lea
16 16 32 64
16 2 32 chocolates Dane
