Study Notes
Ratio and Proportion
- Ratios compare two quantities. A ratio of a to b is written as a:b or a/b.
- Proportions are equations stating that two ratios are equal.
- If a/b = c/d, then ad = bc (cross-multiplication).
- In similar figures, corresponding sides are in proportion.
- Ratios are used in many applications, like scaling up or down recipes.
Proportionality in Geometry
- Similar figures have the same shape but may have different sizes.
- The ratios of corresponding sides of similar figures are equal.
- If two triangles are similar, the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal, and the corresponding angles are equal.
Solving Equations with Ratios and Proportions
- Solve for a variable in a proportion, using the cross-multiplication method.
- Find the value of a missing variable in a ratio based on given information.
Word Problems Involving Ratios and Proportions
- Use ratios to solve real-world problems like comparing costs, mixtures, and scale drawings.
- Apply proportions to solve problems related to scaling, maps, and similar figures.
Specific Problem Examples
- Given the ratio of pastries to cakes to pies is 2:3:5. If the total number of items is 74, find the number of pastries (answer: 8)
- Given x/3 = y/4 = z/5 and x+y+z =26 find z (Answer: z= 6).
- Given 3x = 4y = 6z and (1/x) + (1/y) + (1/z) = 26 find z (Answer: 1/6)
