### Grade 8 - Mathematics2.14 Proportion - I

 Two quantities are proportional if they have a same ratio or rate. Proportion: Two ratios set equal Setting two fractions equal Solved by cross multiplying Direct or inverse Example: a/b = c/d cross products ad =cd ad and cb are called the cross products of this proportion. The cross products of any proportion are equal. the product of extremes in a proportion = the product of means in the proportion. Cross products can be used to determine whether two ratios are in proportion. Example: 3/2 = 9/x cross products: 3x = 18 x = 6 Example: q/25 = 52/100 cross products: q x 100 = 25 x 52 100q = 1300 q = 13 Directions: Answer the following questions. Also write at least ten examples of your own.
 Q 1: The terms at the middle of a proportion are called ______.MeansCenterExtremes Q 2: If 2,5,10,x are in proportion then value of x = _____.201525 Q 3: a, b, c and d are four numbers if a:b = c:d then a, b, c and d are in ______.EquationProportionRatio Q 4: What are the extremes in 1:5 = 5:25.2 and 231 and 253 and 15 Q 5: If 3,7,9,x are in proportion then value of x = ____.211718 Q 6: The product of ____ in a proportion = the product of means in the proportion.CenterMeansExtremes Q 7: The terms at the last of a proportion are called ______.OppositesExtremesMeans Q 8: What are the means in 25:30 = 250:300.12 and 11230 and 25042 and 75 Question 9: This question is available to subscribers only!
