Types of Proportion
1. Direct Proportion
 exist between two quantities when they are related in
such a way that one quantity will produce the same kind
of change in the other quantity. The ratio is constant.

2. Inverse Proportion
 exist between two quantities when they are related in
such a way that quantity will produce an opposite kind
of change. The product is constant.

3. Partitive Proportion
 a whole divided into parts proportional to a given
ratio.
 Direct Proportion
- exist between two quantities when they are related in
such a way that one quantity will produce the same kind
of change in the other quantity.

Example
1. If 12 gallons of gasoline cost Php540, how much
will 15 gallons of gasoline cost?

Given: Solution:
Therefore, 15 gallons of

Example

2. A baker uses a ratio of 1 egg for every 4 cups of

flour in a certain recipe. If he uses a dozen of
eggs, how many cups of flour will he need?
Given: Solution:
𝑿𝟏 = 𝟏; 𝒀𝟏 = 𝟒 𝟏 𝟏𝟐
=
𝑿𝟐 = 𝟏𝟐; 𝒀𝟐 =? 𝟒 𝒀𝟐
𝒀𝟐 = 𝟒(𝟏𝟐)
𝒀𝟐 = 𝟒𝟖
Therefore, a baker needs 48 cups of
flour.
 Inverse Proportion
- exist between two quantities when they are related
in such a way that one quantity will produce an
opposite kind of change in the other quantity.
The product is constant.
𝑿𝟏 𝒀𝟏 = 𝑿𝟐 𝒀𝟐
Example
1.In 30 minutes, 2 men can transport 200 books
from one building to another building. How
