Direct, Inverse &

Partitive Proportions
Direct Proportion
• Directly proportional to another
• One value increases, while the other value
also increases
Examples:
1. It takes Andy 30 minutes to burn 200
calories in a treadmill. How long will it
take for Andy to burn 400 calories?
2. When x is 2, y is 5, what is x when y is 10?
Inverse Proportion
• indirectly proportional to another
• One value increases, while the other value
decreases
Examples:
1. If 8 painters need 30 days to paint a
building, how many days will 24 painters
need to paint a building?
2. When x is 12, y is 18, what is y when x is
4?
Partitive Proportion
• Involves identifying parts of a whole based
on a given ratio of these parts.
Example:
1. In a class, the ratio of boys to the number
of girls is 2:3. How many boys are there in
class if there are 40 students?
Example:
2. Kyla wants to donate her figure collection
to her four friends in the ratio 1:3:3:5.
She has a total of 96 figurines. If her best
friend wants the most number of
figurines, how many figurines will she
get?

2. A business’ return of investment will be allocated
on three business partners: Joey, James, and Joe
in a ratio of 3:4:5. If the total income is
