Lesson 6-2Pages 270-274 Using Proportions Lesson Check 6-1
What you will learn! • How to solve proportions. • How to use proportions to solve real-world problems.
What you really need to know! A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equal.
What you really need to know! You can use cross products to solve a proportion.
Example 1: Determine whether the pair of ratios form a proportion.
? No! 2 x 20 = 40 3 x 12 = 36
Example 2: Determine whether the pair of ratios form a proportion.
? Yes! 0.8 x 8 = 6.4 2 x 3.2 = 6.4
Example 3: Solve each proportion.
c = 21.6 15c = 36•9 15c = 324
Example 4: Solve each proportion.
v = 5 4.8v = 16•1.5 4.8v = 24
Example 5: An architect builds a model of a building before the actual building is built. The model is 8 inches tall and the actual building will be 22 feet tall. The model is 20 inches wide. Find the width of the actual building.
8•n = 22•20 8n = 440 n = 55 feet
Example 6: The Circleville Pumpkin Show in Circleville, Ohio, boasts the world’s largest pumpkin pie. The pie weighs 350 pounds and is 5 feet in diameter. Find the diameter of the pie in centimeters if 1ft = 30.48 cm.
1•n = 30.48•5 1n = 152.4 n = 152.4 cm
