In any proportion, the product of the means is equal
to the product of the extremes.
a

d
or a : b = c : d,
we get

Finding the Missing Terms of a Proportion
 To find the missing term of a proportion, use the
Extremes-Means Property and solve for the
unknown.
Example:
4 : x = 8 : 10
(8)(x) = (10)(4)
8x = 40
x = 5

TYPES OF PROPORTIONS
A.
Direct Proportion
 As one quantity increases, the other also
increases.
Example:
If 4 kg of mangoes cost as much as 3 kg of
guavas, how many kg of mangoes would
cost as much as 75 kg of guavas?
Solution:
Equate the ratio of the terms in the first
condition to the ratio of the terms in the
second condition. So, we have:
First Condition
4 kg of mangoes
3 kg of guavas
Second Condition
=
n kg of mangoes
75 kg of guavas
VI. RATIO and PROPORTION

quantities, such
as a and b,
which can be
expressed in the
following
equivalent ways:
a:b,

a b,

Rate
Proportion
Refers to a ratio
whose
two
amounts represent
different quantities
An equation or

ratios.
May be expressed
as:
Examples:

5 m⁄s
1)
a
b
=
c
d
Using the Extremes-Means Property, solve
for the unknown.
n=
(4 kg of mangoes)(75 kg of guavas)
3 kg of guavas
n = 100
, or
2) a : b = c : d
In each form, b
and c are called
means, and a and
d
are
called
extremes.

Example:
If the food in a crate is sufficient to feed 15

Similarity
 When figures have corresponding sides
that are in proportion with one another and
corresponding angles with the same
measure, the figures are similar.
 Proportions can be used to determine that
figures are similar, and calculate the
missing part/s of known similar figures
Example:
Find the missing side of the larger

Answer: The food supply will last for only 7 days
for 30 castaways.

Example:
A piece of wood 150 cm long is cut in the
ratio 2:3:5. Find the measure of each part.
Solution:
1. Add the terms of the ratio.
2 + 3 + 5 = 10
2. Divide the whole measure that was
partitioned by the sum of the terms.
150 cm ÷ 10 = 15
cm
3. Multiply the quotient to each term of
the ratio to find the measure of each
part.

compounded annually.
Solution:
Compute the compound interest at the end of

After year 1: P100, 000 x 0.16 = P16,000
After year 2: (P100,000 + P16,000) x 0.16 =
P18, 560
After year 3: (P116,000 + P18,500) x 0.16 =

COUNTING TECHNIQUES
a)
Permutation
 refers to the number of possible
arrangements for a given set of objects
Case 1:
All of the objects are considered for
each different arrangement
(nPn, read as “the permutation of n
objects taken n at a time”)
This is represented by this operation:
n! (read as “n factorial”)
nPn =
The factorial of a whole number is the
product of that whole number and
each of the natural numbers less than
the number.
n! = n x (n – 1) x (n – 2) x … x 1
Example:
In how many ways can 6
books be placed on a shelf?
