Title: Proportion |
Grade: 8-a Lesson: S2-L7 |
Explanation: The best way to understand algebra is by looking at some examples. Take turns and read each example for easy understanding. |
Examples:
If a : b is 3 : 4 and b : c is 2 : 5, what is a : b : c?
Step 1a
|
|
Here a : b = \$3 : 4\$ and b : c = \$2 : 5\$ |
|
Explanation: Given ratio one is \$3 : 4\$, and the ratio 2 is \$2 : 5\$. |
Step 1b
|
|
Just multiply with such a number that the B are same Here a : b is multiplied by 2, i.e., a : b =\$ (3 : 4 ) 2\$ = \$6 : 8\$. |
|
Explanation: Here, we can multiply the first ratio by 2 then we get \$6 : 8\$. |
Step 1c
|
|
Here b : c is multiplied by 4, i.e., a: b = \$(2: 5 ) 4\$ = \$8 : 10\$. |
|
Explanation: Here, we can multiply the second ratio by four then we get \$8 : 10\$. |
Step 1d
|
|
So, the new ratio is a : b : c is \$6 : 8 : 10\$. |
|
Explanation: Therefore, the new ratio a : b : c is \$6 : 8 : 10\$. |
