August 7 Topic: Proportions
Key vocabulary words to memorize
When solving a proportion, one method you can always use is this set up:
Key vocabulary words to memorize
- Ratio: a comparison of values. Examples:
- 4:5
- 4/5
- 4 eggs to 5 cups of milk
- Rate: a ratio that compares values with two different units.
- 8 free throws made to 15 free throws taken
- 6 laps/10 minutes
- Unit rate: a rate with a denominator of 1.
- 20 miles per hour (which can be written as 20 miles / 1 hour)
- 4 questions/1 minute
- Proportion: equal ratios.
- 3/4 = 6/8
- 30 miles / 6 minutes = 15 miles / 3 minutes
When solving a proportion, one method you can always use is this set up:
x represents the value you are trying to find. After filling in the three blank spots, multiply both sides by the number under x, which will get x by itself. Then simplify the fractions on the other side and you will have your answer to what x is equal to.
