  1. 2.7 solving proportions Objective: 1. Solve problems using proportions

  2. Ratio: A comparison of two numbers, usually written as a fraction. Proportion: --An equation stating that two ratios are equal --(or two equal fractions) Where b ≠ 0 and d ≠ 0. What do you notice happens when you multiply the diagonals on the following proportion?

  3. Please solve for x in each of the following. 3 = x 5 20 7 = 49 X 56 4 = 10 7 x 3 (20) = 5(x) 7(56) = 49(x) 7(10) = 4(x) 17.5 = x 8 = x 12 = x

  4. solve for x 4 (x – 8) = 5(x + 3) 4x – 32 = 5x + 15 - 5x - 5x______ -1x – 32 = 15 + 32 +32 -1x = 47 -1x = 47 -1 -1 x = - 47

  5. Using a proportion to solve a problem. A portable media player has 2 gigabytes of storage and can hold about 500 songs. A similar but larger media player has 80 gigabytes of storage. About how many songs can the larger media player hold? A portable media player has 2 gigabytes of storage and can hold about 500 songs. A similar but larger media player has 80 gigabytes of storage.
