cm long.
What is It
Example:
8 12
Determine whether the ratios 10 and 15 are in proportion.
Solutions:
Here are different methods to show that two ratios are proportion:
a. By cross-product:
8 12 8(15) = 12(10)
=
10 15
120 = 120
b. By simplifying ratios:
8 12 8 4∗2 4
= = =
10 15 10 5 ∗ 2 5
12 4 ∗ 3 4
= =
15 5 ∗ 3 5
4 4
=
5 5
Since the cross-product is equal, the simplest form of two ratios is equal, and
the product of means and extremes is equal, we can say that the two ratios are in
proportion.

7(5𝑦 − 2𝑥) = 10(3𝑦 − 𝑥) Apply cross-product property of
proportion.
35𝑦 − 14𝑥 = 30𝑦 − 10𝑥 Apply distributive property of
multiplication.
35𝑦 − 14𝑥 − 30𝑦 = 30𝑦 − 10𝑥 − 30𝑦 Add −30𝑦 to both sides of equation
35𝑦 − 14𝑥 − 30𝑦 + 14𝑥 = 14𝑥 − 10𝑥 Add 14𝑥 to both sides of equation
35𝑦 − 30𝑦 = 14𝑥 − 10𝑥 Simplify.

B. Equation:
Since the ratio of boys and girls is 4:3, we can write the proportion as 4: 3 =
𝐵: 18.
C. Solution:
72 = 3𝐵 Simplify
72 3𝐵 Divide both sides by 3.
=
3 3
24 = 𝐵 𝑜𝑟 𝐵 = 24 Simplify
Add 𝐵 = 24 to the number of girls to solve the total number of students.

𝑇 = 42 Simplify
D. Answer:
Therefore, there are 24 boys in a class and the total number of students
is 42.
Example 4:
Jason cuts a 36 cm rope into two pieces. If the ratio of the shorter piece to the longer
piece is 2:7, what is the length of the longer piece of rope?
Solution:
A. Representation:
Let 2𝑥 be the length of the shorter piece and 7𝑥 be the length of the longer
piece.
B. Equation:
C. Solution:
2𝑥 + 7𝑥 = 36 Equation
9𝑥 = 36 Solve for x
9𝑥 36 Divide both sides by 9.
=
9 9
𝑥=4 Simplify
Substitute 𝑥 = 4 to 7𝑥 to solve the length of the longer piece.
D. Answer:
Therefore, the length of the longer piece is 28 cm.
