Replace the with a number in so the fractions are equivalent. Example 2-1a Write the proportion, placing a variable instead of a dot x Cross multiply to solve for x 13x Multiply the numerator of one ratio with the denominator of the other ratio Write it as a product (Remember: A number next to a variable means multiply 1/4
Replace the with a number in so the fractions are equivalent. Example 2-1a Bring down the = sign x Multiply the numerator of the other numerator with the denominator of the other ratio 13x 13x = 13x = 6(52) 13x = 13x = 312 Write it as a product using parenthesis Bring down 13x = Multiply 6 52 1/4
Replace the with a number in so the fractions are equivalent. Example 2-1a Ask: What is being done to the variable? x The variable is being multiplied by 13 13x 13x = 13x = 6(52) Do the inverse on both sides of the equal sign 13x = 13x = 312 The inverse of multiplying by 13 is dividing by 13 1/4
Replace the with a number in so the fractions are equivalent. Example 2-1a Using a fraction bar, divide both sides by 13 x Combine “like” terms Divide 13 by 13 13x = 13x = 6(52) 13x Bring down x = 13x = 13x = 312 Combine “like” terms 13 13 Use the Identity Property to multiply 1 x 1 x = 24 1 1 x = x x = 24 Bring down = 24 Write fraction replacing the with 24 Answer: 1/4
Replace the with a number in so the fractions are equivalent. Answer: Example 2-1b 1/4
Replace the with a number in so the fractions are equivalent. Example 2-2a Write the proportion, placing a variable instead of a dot x Cross multiply to solve for x 24x Multiply the numerator of one ratio with the denominator of the other ratio Write it as a product (Remember: A number next to a variable means multiply 2/4
Replace the with a number in so the fractions are equivalent. Example 2-2a Bring down the = sign Multiply the numerator of the other numerator with the denominator of the other ratio x 24x 24x = 24x = 40(3) 24x = 24x = 120 Write it as a product using parenthesis Bring down 24x = Multiply 40 3 2/4
Replace the with a number in so the fractions are equivalent. Example 2-2a Ask: What is being done to the variable? x The variable is being multiplied by 24 24x 24x = 24x = 40(3) 24x = 24x = 120 Do the inverse on both sides of the equal sign The inverse of multiplying by 24 is dividing by 24 2/4
Replace the with a number in so the fractions are equivalent. Example 2-2a Using a fraction bar, divide both sides by 24 Combine “like” terms x Divide 24 by 24 24x 24x = 24x = 40(3) 24x = 24x = 120 Bring down x = 24 24 Combine “like” terms 1 x = 1 1 x = 5 Use the Identity Property to multiply 1 x x = x = 5 Bring down = 5 Answer: Write fraction replacing the with 24 2/4
Replace the with a number in so the fractions are equivalent. Example 2-2b Answer: 2/4
Write in simplest form. Example 2-3a Prime factor both the numerator and denominator 14 42 2 2 7 21 3 7 2 7 Circle factors that are common in each number and write as factors 14 GCF =14 Multiply common factors Identify as GCF 3/4
Write in simplest form. Answer: Example 2-3a 14 is the GCF Divide the numerator by the GCF of 14 14 14 Divide the denominator by the GCF of 14 1 3 3/4
Write in simplest form. Answer: Example 2-3c 3/4
Example 2-4a GYMNASTICSLin practices gymnastics 16 hours each week. There are 168 hours in a week. Express the fraction in simplest form. Prime factor both the numerator and denominator 2 16 168 2 2 2 84 8 42 4 2 2 21 3 2 7 4/4
Example 2-4a 168 2 2 16 84 2 8 2 2 42 4 2 21 3 2 7 Circle factors that are common in each number and write as factors 2 2 2 GCF = 8 8 Multiply common factors Identify as GCF 4/4
Example 2-4a GYMNASTICSLin practices gymnastics 16 hours each week. There are 168 hours in a week. Express the fraction in simplest form. 8 is the GCF 8 8 Divide the numerator by the GCF of 8 2 Answer: hours Divide the denominator by the GCF of 8 21 Add dimensional analysis 4/4
