New Vocabulary • ratio • proportion • extended proportion Math Background • Cross-Product Property • scale drawing • scale The properties of proportions are variations of applying the Multiplication and Addition Properties of Equality. Thus the 1 Using Ratios and Proportions same units must be within each ratio or in comparable positions Aratio is a comparison of two quantities. You can write the ratio of a to b or a Ϻ b in a proportion. Vocabulary Tip a as the quotient b when b 2 0. Unless otherwise stated, the terms and expressions Ϻ appearing in ratios in this book are assumed to be nonzero. More Math Background: p. 364C You can read a b as the ratio a to b. 1 EXAMPLE Real-World Connection Lesson Planning and 1 Photography A photo that is 8 in. wide and 53 in. high is enlarged to a poster that Resources 1 is 2 ft wide and 1 3 ft high.

Students need to test them for equivalence by applying the properties measure their room and use graph paper to make of proportions. their drawings. Each drawing must include a scale. 366 learning style: tactile learning style: verbal A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal. You can write a proportion Vocabulary Tip in these forms: 2. Teach You can read both a 5 c a c b d = and a Ϻ b = c Ϻ d and a b = c d b d as a is to b as c is to d. When three or more ratios are equal, you can write an extended proportion. For Guided Instruction example, you could write the following: 6 4 1 24 ==16 4 1 EXAMPLE Math Tip Students should understand that Two equations are equivalent when either can be deduced from the other using the units of measurement must be Properties of Equality. Several equations are equivalent to a proportion. Some of the same. them are important enough to be called Properties of Proportions. 2 EXAMPLE Teaching Tip Key Concepts Property Properties of Proportions Replace the variables with numbers to verify that the a = c = b = d b d is equivalent to (1) ad bc (2) a c proportions are equivalent. a b a 1 b c 1 d (3) c = d (4) b = d 4 EXAMPLE means Point out that the scale compares TT inches to feet, so each ratio a c = Multiplying both sides of b = d by bd results in the first a b c d has inches in the numerator property, called the Cross-Product Property. You may state extremes and feet in the denominator. this property as “The product of the extremes is equal to the a = c b d product of the means.” ad = bc PowerPoint Additional Examples 2 EXAMPLE Properties of Proportions x 5 1 A scale model of a car is 4 in.

Does a equal a ? b d b2 d2 b b2 are equal. Sometimes the term proportion is used ≠ ≠ incorrectly for a ratio, such as “the proportion of Yes; yes, only if a b or a 0 students who have cell phones is 3 out of 5.” learning style: verbal learning style: verbal 367 In a scale drawing, thescale compares each length in the drawing to the actual 3. Practice length. The lengths used in a scale can be in different units. A scale might be written as 1 in. to 100 mi, 1 in. = 12 ft, or 1 mm i 1 m.
