Equivalent Ratio
Are ratios that make the same are
comparison of numbers. We can get
the equivalent ratio by either
multiplying it to a number, or getting its
lowest term.
Proportion Is the statement of equality
between two ratios or fractions. Its part
of a proportion is a term.
Proportion
A proportion can be written in two
ways: as two equal fractions
Proportion

3 kinds of
Proportion
1.Direct Proportion
In direct proportion, when one quantity
increases or decreases, the other
quantity increases or decreases at the
same rate and vice versa.

Two jeepneys can transport 40 people.
How many jeepneys are needed to
transport 80 people?
Step 1:Identify the quantities used in the
problem.
Step 2: Set up a proportion
Step 3: Find the missing term.
2.Inverse Proportion
In inverse proportion, when one
quantity increases, the other quantity
decreases, and vice versa.
2.Inverse Proportion
If 12 men can finish a work in 9 days, how
many men can finish the same work in 6

Step 2: Set up a proportion as indirect by interchanging the position of n

In partitive proportion, a whole is
divided into parts that is proportional
to the given ratio.
3.Partitive Proportion
A glass of jar has 64 chocolates. Jeff, Lea, and
dave will share the chololates in the ratio 1:1:2.
How many chocolates will each one of them get?
