Missing Proportions

                    Lesson 1

Problem:                   The given ratio is proportional, find x:   x: 5 = 30:25

Solution                    First convert fraction into simple form i.e. x/5= 30/25

Step 1:                                                                                               

Solution We can also write it as: 30/25 = x/5

Step 2:                                                                 

Solution                   Dividing both sides by 5:

Step 3:

30 = 6

  25    5

x = 6

                                                            Solution                    The answer is: 6

 Step 4:                                                                      

 Complete   

                                                            Try two practice problems:  

Find the proportion between the numbers

A.	1/10 = n/60
B.	4 / 8 = 16 / x
