Solving Proportions

Learn to solve proportions by using cross


products.
Solving Proportions

Vocabulary
cross product
Solving Proportions

For two ratios, the product of the numerator in


one ratio and the denominator in the other is
a cross product. If the cross products of the
ratios are equal, then the ratios form a
proportion.

5 · 6 = 30
2 = 6
5 15
2 · 15 = 30
Solving Proportions

You can use the cross product rule to solve


proportions with variables.
Solving Proportions
Additional Example 1: Solving Proportions Using
Cross Products

Use cross products to solve the proportion.


9 = m
15 5
15 · m = 9 · 5 The cross products are equal.
15m = 45 Multiply.
15m = 45 Divide each side by 15 to
15 15 isolate the variable.
m=3
Solving Proportions
Check It Out: Example 1

Use cross products to solve the proportion.


6 = m
7 14
7 · m = 6 · 14 The cross products are equal.
7m = 84 Multiply.
7m = 84 Divide each side by 7 to
7 7 isolate the variable.
m = 12
Solving Proportions

It is important to set up proportions correctly.


Each ratio must compare corresponding
quantities in the same order.
Suppose a boat travels 16 miles in 4 hours and
8 miles in x hours at the same speed. Either of
these proportions could represent this
situation.

16 mi = 8 mi 16 mi = 4 hr
4 hr x hr 8 mi x hr

Additional Example 2: Problem Solving Application
If 3 volumes of Jennifer’s
encyclopedia takes up 4 inches of
space on her shelf, how much space
will she need for all 26 volumes?
1 Understand the Problem

Rewrite the question as a statement.


• Find the space needed for 26 volumes of
the encyclopedia.
List the important information:
• 3 volumes of the encyclopedia take up 4
inches of space.

2 Make a Plan

Set up a proportion using the given


information. Let x represent the inches of
space needed.

3 volumes = 26 volumes volumes


4 inches x inches

3 Solve
3 = 26 Write the proportion.
4 x
3 · x = 4 · 26 The cross products are equal.
3x = 104 Multiply.
3x = 104 Divide each side by 3 to isolate
3 3 the variable.
x = 34 2

4 Look Back

4 · 26 = 104
3 = 26
4 34 23
3 · 34 23 = 104

The cross products are equal, so 34 23 is the


answer

of coolant, which is the 10 inch mark.
How many pints of coolant would be
needed to fill the radiator to the 25 inch
level?
1 Understand the Problem

Rewrite the question as a statement.


• Find the number of pints of coolant required
to raise the level to the 25 inch level.
List the important information:
• 6 pints is the 10 inch mark.

2 Make a Plan

Set up a proportion using the given


information. Let p represent the pints of
coolant.

6 pints = p pints
10 inches 25 inches inches

3 Solve
6 = p Write the proportion.
10 25
10 · p = 6 · 25 The cross products are equal.
10p = 150 Multiply.
10p = 150 Divide each side by 10 to isolate
10 10 the variable.
p = 15
15 pints of coolant will fill the radiator to the 25
inch level.

4 Look Back

10 · 15 = 150
6 = 15
10 25
6 · 25 = 150

The cross products are equal, so 15 is the answer.
