11.1 Problem Solving Using
Ratios and Proportions
A ratio is the comparison of two numbers written as a fraction.
For example: Your school’s basketball team has won 7 games
and lost 3 games. What is the ratio of wins to
losses?
Because we are comparing wins to losses the first
number in our ratio should be the number of wins and
the second number is the number of losses.
7
The ratio is games won = 7 games
=
games lost
3 games

11.1 Problem Solving Using
Ratios and Proportions
In a ratio, if the numerator and denominator are measured in
different units then the ratio is called a rate.
A unit rate is a rate per one given unit, like 60 miles per 1 hour.
Example: You can travel 120 miles on 60 gallons of gas.
What is your fuel efficiency in miles per gallon?
120 miles
20 miles
Rate = 60 gallons =
1 gallon
Your fuel efficiency is 20 miles per gallon.
11.1 Problem Solving Using
Ratios and Proportions
An equation in which two ratios are equal is called a proportion.
A proportion can be written using colon notation like this
a:b::c:d
or as the more recognizable (and useable) equivalence of two fractions.
a c

b d
11.1 Problem Solving Using
Ratios and Proportions
When ratios are written in this order, a and d are the extremes, or
outside values, of the proportion, and b and c are the means, or
middle values, of the proportion.

11.1 Problem Solving Using
Ratios and Proportions
To solve problems which require the use of a proportion we can use one
of two properties.
The reciprocal property of proportions.
If two ratios are equal, then their reciprocals are equal.
The cross product property of proportions.
The product of the extremes equals the product of the means

11.3 Direct and Inverse Variation
Direct Variation
The following statements are equivalent:



y varies directly as x.
y is directly proportional to x.
y = kx for some nonzero constant k.
k is the constant of variation or the constant of
proportionality
11.3 Direct and Inverse Variation
Inverse Variation
The following statements are equivalent:



y varies inversely as x.
y is inversely proportional to x.
y = k/x for some nonzero constant k.
11.3 Direct and Inverse Variation
If y varies directly as x, then y = kx.
If y = 10 when x = 2 ,
then what is the value of y when x = 8?
x and y go together.
Therefore, by substitution 10 = k(2).
What is the value of k? 10 = 2k
10 = 2k
5=k
11.3 Direct and Inverse Variation
k=5
Replacing k with 5 gives us y = 5x
What is y when x = 8 ?
y = 5(8)
y = 40
11.3 Direct and Inverse Variation
If y varies inversely as x, then xy = k.
If y = 6 when x = 4 , then what is the value of
y when x = 8?
x and y go together. Therefore, by substitution
(6)(4) = k.
What is the value of k?
24 = k
11.3 Direct and Inverse Variation
k = 24
Replacing k with 24 gives us xy = 24
What is y when x = 8 ?

Flipping a coin is an experiment and the possible
outcomes are heads (H) or tails (T).

is to draw a tree diagram. Each outcome is shown
on a separate branch. For example, the outcomes of
