Checking of
assignment
Review on equivalent
fractions.
 Which of these fractions are
equivalent?

a. 6/8 and ¾ d. 2/3 and 3/2

b. ¼ and 4/16 e. 6/10 and 9/10
c. 16/24 and 8/12
Motivation
Do you help your parents at
home especially during
weekends? Why?
Present this problem:
During weekends, Zeny helps her
mother sell buko juice. For every
buko, Zeny adds 4 litres of water.
How many litres of water does she
need for 3 bukos so that the taste
will be the same?
 Discuss the lesson through the
problem presented.
Buko 1 3 buko or 1:4 =
3:N
Litres 4 =
N litres of water
of water
Solution: 1X N= 3X 4 or 1 : 4 =
3: N
1N = 12 1XN=4
To check:
1 3 or 1: 4 = 3 : 12
4 12
12 = 12 12 = 12
Give another example: {Group
Activity)
Zeny and her mother also sells
hotcakes on weekends. Mother’s
recipe calls for 3 eggs to make 5
hotcakes. Zeny wants to make 25
hotcakes. How many eggs will she
need?
Tell whethter the following ratios are
proportions. Say Yes if they are and
No if not, change one term to make
them
proportion.
a. 4/5 and 28/35
b. 18 : 45 and 4 : 12
c. 20/48 and 15/36
d. 3 : 21 and 6 : 40
e. 9 : 12 and 27 : 32
Application:

a.What number compared to 10 is

the same as 28 compared to 5?
b. Six compared to 12 is the same as
12 compared to what number?
c. A motorist traveled 120 km in 3
hours. At the same rate, how long
will it take to travel 360 kms?
Generalization:
1.What is a proportion?
2.What are the terms or elements in a
proportion?
3.How do we find the missing term in a
proportion?
Evaluation:
Solve for the missing term in each
proportion.
a.6: N = 8 : 12
b.N : 7 = 6 : 21
c.20 : 24 = N ; 6
d.N : 6 = 3 : 18
e.14 : 21 = 2 : N
Assignment:
Find the missing term to make the
proportion true.

a.9 : N = 27 : 15
b.N : 8 = 12 : 32
c.5: 3 = 25 : N
