Lesson
Solving Problems Involving
1 Proportions
We learned from the previous lesson that there are three kinds of proportions
namely: Direct, Inverse and Partitive Proportion.
The concept of these three kinds of proportions can be applied in our daily
scenarios such as upon buying on a market, calculating the speed and worktime,
and even on determining the partitioned we may get in a certain situation.
In this module, we will now be solving problems involving Direct, Inverse and
Partitive proportions so keep your focus and enjoy learning.
What’s In
DIRECTIONS: Read the problem carefully. On a separate sheet of paper, write your
answers to the questions below. Please do not write anything on the
module.
Get a cracker or snack. On its package, look at the sodium content on the
Nutrition Facts column.
2
2. How many milligrams of sodium does it have?
3. If you are going to consume 5 packs of it, how
much sodium are you going to intake?
4. According to the FDA, it is recommended that
individuals consume no more than 2,300
milligrams of sodium per day. Do you think it is
still healthy to consume those 5 packs, thinking
that you still consume sodium on your meals?
5. Suppose that you control your sodium intake for
1,500 milligrams per day and divided it into three
meals in the ratio of 2:2:1. How much sodium will
you take for each meal?
What’s New
Excellent!
Let’s start!

What is It
Now, we will be discussing how we are going to solve problems involving direct,
inverse and partitive proportion.
Let us try to solve the following word problems on our previous module.
PROBLEM 1
A 200 grams of mango cost ₱20. How much will 1,200 grams cost?
The relationship between these variable shows that as the grams of mango
increases, the price of the mango also increases. Thus, it shows that there is a Direct
Proportion in the problem.
4
In writing the proportion,
𝑋 = ₱120
PROBLEM 2
Michelle can type 300 words in 5 minutes. How many words can she type in 10 minutes?
The relation between the variables shows that as Michelle spends longer time
in typing, the greater number of words she can type. Thus, it shows Direct Proportion.
𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠 5 𝑋
= =
𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑠 300 10
600 = 𝑋
5
PROBLEM 3
A construction company has 20 workers which can make a residential house for 120 days.
How many workers is needed to finish the house for 90 days?
27 ≅ 𝑋
PROBLEM 4
Five people can paint a fence in 4 hours. How long will it take for 8 people to paint it?
When there is an addition to the number of painters, the time for the fence to
be painted will lessen. Thus, the problem shows Inverse Proportion.
5 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑋 ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠 5 𝑋
= ⟹ =
8 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 4 8 4
6
For solving the unknown value,
20 = 8𝑋
PROBLEM 5
Kim wants to donate ₱300,000 to three different foundations in the ratio of 1:2:3. How
much will each foundation receive?
In this problem, Kim will split the money into 3 different foundations wherein
each will receive unique amount. Thus, this shows Partitive Proportion since there is a
partition that’s happening.
1x : 2x : 3x = ₱300,000
1x + 2x + 3x = ₱300,000
6𝑥 = 300,000
Multiply both sides of the
1
1 equation with the
( ) ∙ 6𝑥 = 300,000 ∙ ( )
6 6 multiplicative inverse of 6.
𝑥 = 50,000
7
Foundation 3: 3x = 3(50,000) = ₱150,000
PROBLEM 6
A large pizza is divided into 18 slices. The ratio of the slices of pizza that the four children
received is 1:1:2:2. How many slices does each child receive?
There is a partition in the pizza wherein the child may get different number of
pizza slices. Therefore, the proportion shown here is Partitive Proportion.
1x : 1x : 2x : 2x = 18
1x + 1x + 2x + 2x = 18
6𝑥 = 18
Multiply both sides of the
1 1
( ) ∙ 6𝑥 = 18 ∙ ( ) equation with the
6 6
multiplicative inverse of 6.
𝑥 =3

work?
