 Lesson
Solving Problems Involving
4 Kinds of Proportion

Hello! Do you still remember these lines, “if two ratios are equal, then their
reciprocals are also equal” or “the product of the extremes is equal to the product of
the means”? Right now, let us deal with these statements more in-depth as go
through with this module.

What’s In

Let us review on the following terms using a concept map for you to better
understand the lessons in this module.

Activity 1: Refresh Your Mind

Direction: Fill in the blanks with right word/s to make each statement correct. Base
your answer on the illustrations below.

9
 1. It is comparison of two numbers or measurement known as _________________.
2. A relationship between two variables when their ratio is equal to a constant
value is called _________________.
3. _________________ represents a relationship of two values x and y such when
x increases, then y decreases or vice versa.
4. A/an _________________ is a ratio in which the two terms are different in units.
5. A whole is divided into parts that is proportioned into equal or unequal ratios
refers to the _________________.

Alright! You are now ready to explore kinds of proportion and solve real-life
problems.

fund for the upcoming ABM strand fair.
The Accountancy Club, Business Club
and Management Club will share the

(x) will each group receive?

Great Job! Keep the fire burning! Let’s unlock some difficulties.

What is It

You are already knowledgeable in translating worded problems to mathematical

statements.

Now, let us process and classify those translated problems to the three (3) kinds
of proportions. How do we recognize whether a given proportion problem involves a
direct proportion, an inverse proportion, or a partitive proportion? The definitions
below determine the kinds of proportion considering the following problem:

11
 1.) If 10 laptops cost the number of ₱200,000.00, then
how much do 8 laptops cost?

We see that the greater the number of laptops, the

higher is the total cost (x). Setting up the ratio, we
obtain:
Given:

Number of laptops: a= 10 laptops c= 8 laptops

Total cost: b = ₱200,000.00 d= x
* 10 laptops for ₱200,000.00
Mathematical Statement:

∗ 𝐿𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑜𝑝𝑠 ∶ 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 = 𝐿𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑜𝑝𝑠 ∶ 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡

10 𝑙𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑜𝑝𝑠 8 𝑙𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑜𝑝𝑠
=
₱200,000.00 𝑥
Solution:
10 8
=
200,000 𝑥
10𝑥 = 8(200,000)
10𝑥 1,600,000
=
10 10
𝒙 = ₱𝟏𝟔𝟎, 𝟎𝟎𝟎

In the problem, the number of laptops and total cost are directly proportional
since the more laptops you buy, the higher is the cost or the lesser laptops you buy,
the lower is the cost. Thus, the problem involves Direct Proportion.

2.) In a T-shirt factory, 5 employees can finish designing

20 T-shirts in two hours. How long will it take 10 people
to design 20 T-shirts?

We see that the more employees on a job, the lesser time

(x) needed to finish the job. Setting up the ratio, we obtain:

Given:
No. of employees: a= 5 employees c = 10 employees
1 1
Time spent: b= d=
2ℎ𝑟𝑠. 𝑥

* 5 employees for 2 hours

Mathematical Statement:
* 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑜𝑦𝑒𝑒𝑠 ∶ 𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑜𝑦𝑒𝑒𝑠 = 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 ∶ 𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒

10 𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑜𝑦𝑒𝑒𝑠 2 ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠
=
5 𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑜𝑦𝑒𝑒𝑠 x

12
 Solution:
10 2
=
5 x
10(𝑥) = 5(2)
10𝑥 10
=
10 10
10
𝑥=
10
𝒙 = 𝟏 𝒉𝒓.

In the problem, the number of employees and time to finish the job are
inversely/indirectly proportional since the more employees you hired, the lesser the
time to spend to finish the job. Thus, the said problem involves Inverse/Indirect
Proportion.
3.) Quarantina wants to donate her collection of figurines to
her four friends in the ratio of 1:3:3:5. She has a total of 96
figurines. If her best friend wants the most number of
figurines, how many figurines will she get?

We see that the whole collection of figurines is being divided

into parts (x) and distributed to them with specified ratio.
Setting up the partition, we obtain:
Given:
Let x be the constant number of figurines
1x = number of figurines for her 1st friend
3x = number of figurines for her 2nd friend
3x = number of figurines for her 3rd friend
5x = number of figurines for her best friend (the most)
96 = total number of figurines

Mathematical Statement:

1𝑥 + 3𝑥 + 3𝑥 + 5𝑥 = 96
Solution:
12𝑥 = 96
12𝑥 96
=
12 12
𝒙 = 𝟖 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔
5x = number of figurines for her 4th friend (the most)
5x = 5(8) = 40 figurines for her best friend

When a whole is partitioned into equal or unequal ratios, such concept involves
Partitive Proportion. In the problem, the total number of figurines is partitioned
into the ratio of 1:3:3:5, thus making use of partitive proportions.

13

and defining kinds of proportions. At this moment, be ready for our next activity.
