Direct, Inverse, and Partitive

Proportions; Percentage, Rate,

and Base
Based on your experiences, there are varied ways of solving different
types of problems. In this lesson, you will learn more approaches
especially on problems involving proportions and percentages.

If two ratios are equal, that is, a: b = c: d,

then 𝑎 ∙ 𝑑 = 𝑏 ∙ 𝑐.
If two fractions are equal, that is, a/b = c/d, then 𝑎 ∙ 𝑑 = 𝑏 ∙ 𝑐.
Finding the Missing Term in a Proportion
Example 1: Determine the missing term in
each given proportion.
Example: Two school vans can transport 40 people. How
many school vans are needed to transport 80 people?
 Example: If 12 men can finish painting a house in 9 days,
how many men can finish the same work in 6 days?
Example : A container has 64 boxes of chocolates. Sam, Yuan, and Gian
will share the chocolates in the ratio 2:1:1, respectively. How many
boxes of chocolates will each one of them get?
