Mathematics Grade 6 MELC: find a missing term in a proportion


M6NS-IIb-133

LET’S BEGIN
In this lesson, you will learn on how to find a missing term
in a proportion.

Read the situation below:

Mrs. Reyes bought 9 different kinds of pastries for P 324.00. at the same price, how
much will she pay for 15 different kinds of pastries?

To solve this problem, write equal ratios.

Let n be the price of 15 different kinds of pastries


9 = 15
324 n
To solve the problem of Mrs. Reyes:
9 = 15
324 n

9●n = 324●15

9n = 4860
9 9

n=540
Therefore, she has to pay P 540.00 for 15 different kinds of pastries.
DID YOU KNOW ?
Read and understand.

When two ratios are equal, a proportion is formed.


A proportion is a statement of equality between two ratios. Each part of a proportion
is a term. The first and the last terms are called extremes while the second and the third
terms are called means.

 In a proportion, 9 = 15
324 n
9 and n are the extremes, while 324 and 15 are the
means.

 In a proportion, the cross products of equal ratios are equal.

 If , a = c , then ad=bc.
b d
 Thus, the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes.
 In the proportion a : b= c: d

Means

a:b = c:d

extremes

 If in a given proportion a term is missing, it can be solved using cross multiplication

Example 1: Tell whether the ratios form a proportion.

a. 6 , 3
14 7
Solution: 6 , 3 Write proportion.
14 7
6●7 = 14●3 Form cross products
42 = 42 Multiply.

Answer: The ratios form a proportion.


b. 6 , 9
11 16
Solution: 6 , 9 Write proportion.
11 16
6●16= 11●9 Form cross products
96 =99 Multiply.

Answer: The ratios do not form a proportion.

Example 2: 6:9 = 8:x


6●x = 9●8
6x = 72
6 6
X = 12

Example 3: n:4 = 6:8


n●8 = 4●6
8n = 24
8 8
n=3

Example 4: 5 , n
7 14
7●n = 5●14

7n = 70
7 7
n = 7

check: substitute n=10 to verify if the answer is correct.


5 x 14 = 7 x n
5 x 14 = 7 x 10
 70 = 70

LET’S DO IT!
Determine whether each is a proportion or not. Write Yes or No.

______1. 2=4 _____2. 4 =8


3 6 5 9

______3. 3=4 _____4. 12 = 4


7 9 15 5

______5. 2=4 _____6. 8_ = 4


6 10 10 6

______7. 6 = 24 ______8. 2 = 4
7 28 5 12

______9. 15 = 5 ______10. 28 = 2
20 6 42 3

YOU CAN DO IT!


A. Solve each proportion.
1. 5 = 35
12 n

2. 39 = n
2 4

3. 27 = 9
n 5

4. n = 24
4 6

5. 10 = n
16 56

B. Solve each problem.


1. For every 8 mango trees in the orchard, there are 4 star apple trees. If there are
1320 trees, how many trees of each kind are there?

2. Angel Locsin a philanthropist gave P 3,000,000 to two orphanages and a


health institution. The two orphanages received equal amount twice that of the
health institution. How much did each receive?
