    PracticeRatios and Proportions

    1. NUTRITION One ounce of cheddar cheese contains 9 grams of fat. Six of the grams of fat are saturated fats. Find the ratio of saturated fats to total fat in an ounce of cheese.

    2. FARMING The ratio of goats to sheep at a university research farm is 4:7. The number of sheep at the farm is 28. What is the number of goats?

    3. QUALITY CONTROL A worker at an automobile assembly plant checks new cars for defects. Of the first 280 cars he checks, 4 have defects. If 10,500 cars will be checked this month, predict the total number of cars that will have defects.

    11. The ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 7:9:12, and its perimeter is 84 inches. Find the measure of each side of the triangle.

    12. The ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 6:7:9, and its perimeter is 77 centimeters. Find the measure of each side of the triangle.

    13. The ratio of the measures of the three angles is 4:5:6. Find the measure of each angle of the triangle.

    14. The ratio of the measures of the three angles is 5:7:8. Find the measure of each angle of the triangle.

    15. BRIDGES A construction worker is placing rivets in a new bridge. He uses 42 rivets to build the first 2 feet of the bridge. If the bridge is to be 2200 feet in length, predict the number of rivets that will be needed for the entire bridge.

    7. PHOTOGRAPHY Francine has a camera in which the distance from the lens to the film is 24 millimeters.

    a. If Francine takes a full-length photograph of her friend from a distance of 3 meters and the height of her friend is 140 centimeters, what will be the height of the image on the film? (Hint: Convert to the same unit of measure.)

    b. Suppose the height of the image on the film of her friend is 15 millimeters. If Francine took a full-length shot, what was the distance between the camera and her friend?

    1. FLAGS An oceanliner is flying two similar triangular flags on a flag pole. The altitude of the larger flag is three times the altitude of the smaller flag. If the measure of a leg on the larger flag is 45 inches, find the measure of the corresponding leg on the smaller flag.

    2. TENTS Jana went camping and stayed in a tent shaped like a triangle. In a photo of the tent, the base of the tent is 6 inches and the altitude is 5 inches. The actual base was 12 feet long. What was the height of the actual tent?

    The photocopy came out poorly. Gordon could not read the numbers on the photocopy, although the triangle itself was clear. Gordon measured the base of the enlarged triangle and found it to be 200 millimeters.

    a. What is the length of the drawn altitude of the enlarged triangle? Round your answer to the nearest millimeter.

    b. What is the length of the drawn median of the enlarged triangle? Round your answer to the nearest millimeter.
