Do Now 10/12/09 • Copy HW in your planner. • Text p. 165, #28-34 evens, #46-50 evens • Text p. 171-172, #16-38 even • In your journal, consider the following. On a bright sunny day, how can you determine the height of a tall object (i.e. flagpole) without physically measuring the object?
Objective • SWBAT find ratios and write and solve proportions • SWBAT solve proportions using cross products
RATIO- Section 3.5 “Write Ratios and Proportions” uses division to compare two quantities You can write ratios three different ways: a b a to b a:b
14 14 14 + 10 10 a. = = 14 7 7 24 12 5 home matches home matches b. = = = all matches away matches Try It Out… VOLLEYBALL A volleyball team plays 14 home matches and 10 away matches. a.Find the ratio of home matches to away matches. b.Find the ratio of home matches to all matches. SOLUTION
PROPORTION- an equation that states that two ratios are equivalent.
330 . x 11 x x Solve the proportion = = 30 30 30 6 6 x = 11 11 6 6 30 30 = Try It Out… Write original proportion. Multiply each side by 30. Simplify. 55= x Divide.
Section 3.6 “Solving Proportions Using Cross Products” If , then
Solve the proportion = 8 6 8 6 x 15 15 x = 3 3 2 2 8 15 = x 6 = = x x x x – 6 – 6 3(x – 6) =2x Solve the proportion Write original proportion. Cross products property 120 = 6x Simplify. Write original proportion. 20=x Divide each side by 6. Cross products property 3x – 18 = 2x Distributive property 18 = x Subtract 3xfrom each side.
1 centimeters = 85 kilometers 1 d = 85 4.2 4.2 d SCALE - the SCALE of a drawing, map, or model relates the dimensions of the drawing, map, or model to the actual dimensions. Write and solve a proportion to find the distance dbetween Cleveland and Cincinnati if the distance on the map is about 4.2 centimeters. Cross products property d = 357 Simplify.
The ship model kits sold at a hobby store have a scale of 1 ft : 600 ft. A completed model of the Queen Elizabeth II is 1.6 feet long. Estimate the actual length of the Queen Elizabeth II. 1 = 600 1.6 The actual length of the Queen Elizabeth II is about 960 feet. g SOLUTION Write and solve a proportion to find the length gof the Queen Elizabeth II. 1 · g = 600 · 1.6 Cross products property g = 960 Simplify.
