3 Types of
Proportions If a man receives P1500 Kenn wants to give his collection
working 6 days. At the same If t-shirt design factory, 5 of figurines to his four friends in
rate, how much will he Employees can finish the ratio 1:3:3:5. He has a total of
1. Direct Preposition- When one quantity receive after working 10 designing 20 t-shirts in 96 figurines. How many figurines
can his best friend receive if Kenn
increases, the other quantity increases at days? This is an example of one hour. How long will will give the biggest part to him?
the same rate and vice versa. Direct proportion it take to t10 people to Equation& Solution:
2. INVERSE PROPORTION- When one Problem: Amount to be
make 20 designs? 1x=3x=3x=5x=96
quantity increases, the other quantity received after 10 days 12x=96

decreases, and vice versa. Equation& Solution: x=8

6:1500=10:x
Equation& Solution: Conclusion:1st share(1)= 8
3. PARTITIVE PROPORTION A whole is 5:10=5(1) 2nd Share(3)= 24
