*Note: In every activity, write your answer in 1 whole sheet of pad paper or coupon bond
back to back in chronological order with solutions if necessary. Every submission just pass your
answer sheet not your book. Maintain cleanliness on your paper.

III. PROCEDURE
A. INTRODUCTION
Engage yourself to the following problem.
In the relief operations for typhoon victims, 120 families in the evacuation
center had consumed 1500 kilos of NFA rice for 3 weeks. If there were only 1000
kilos of NFA rice, how long will the families consume this volume of rice?
WHAT WILL I DO?
This problem clearly shows the relationship among the number of families,
the number of kilos of rice and the number of days to consume the rice.
From the given situation above, we can see that the more the kilos of rice
there is, the longer it will last for 120 families. This situation is an example of a
direct proportion. Thus, we have
No. of kilos of rice = no. of kilos rice
No. of weeks no. of weeks
1500 = 1000
3 n
1500n = 3000
n = 2
Therefore, 1000 kilos of NFA rice will be consumed in 2 weeks.
B. DISCUSSION
There are three kinds of proportion: direct, partitive, and indirect. In direct
proportion, as one quantity increases, the quantity increases at the same rate and
vice versa. (Refer to the examples on pages 145-146)
In a partitive proportion, a whole is divided into parts that are proportional to
the given ratio. (See examples on pages 147-148)
 In an inverse or indirect proportion, one quantity increases as the other
quantity decreases at the same rate, and vice- versa. (Examples are on pages 148-
149)
