Proportion:

An equation that shows two ratios are equivalent

To check to see if it is a proportion:

= Cross multiply and see if you get the

same number or find the unit rate

=

Is the following a proportion? (a = yes, b = no)

1. 3 = 2_ 25 15

2. 6 = 4_24 16

Solving Proportions

To solve proportions, cross multiply – then divide!

Example:

y_ = 10_15 25y ∙ 25 = 15 ∙ 10y ∙ 25 = 150y = 6
