Examples

Section 2-6: Ratios and Proportions

Ratio – A comparison between two numbers using division (fraction)

Proportion – two ratios that are equal

Means-Extremes Property of ProportionWords In a proportion, the product of the extremes is equal to the product of the means

Symbols If , and b and d do not equal zero, then ad = bc

Examples Since , 2(2) = 4(1) or 4 = 4
