Reinforcing the Concept and Skill
Directions: Find the missing term to
make the proportion true.
1. 9:n = 27:15
2. n:8 = 12:32
3. 5:3 = 25:n
4. 6:n = 8:12
5. n:7 = 6:21
How do we solve for a missing term in
a proportion?
In a proportion, the product
of the means is equal to the
product of the extremes.
In symbols,
if a: b = c: d
then bc = ad
Set up a proportion and solve for
the missing term.
1. A scale 1.5cm on a map
represents an actual distance 0f
1.km. What actual distance does
a scale distance of 6 cm
represent?
