Solving Proportions
A ratio is a comparison between two quantities.
For example, the instructions on a can of orange juiceconcentrate may read “add 1 can of concentrate to 3 cans ofwater.”
The ratio of concentrate to water can be expressed using acolon, 1 : 3, or as a fraction, 1
3 .
Note that this fraction does not mean that the orange juiceis one-third concentrate.
The orange juice is actually one-fourth concentrate, sincethere were four cans added: 1 of concentrate, and 3 of water.
While this often makes it more convenient to express ratiosusing a colon for common measurements, it is usually moreadvantageous for us to use fractions for our calculations.

Solving Proportions
A proportion is a statement that equates two or more ratios.
For example, 29 = 6
27 is a proportion, since the ratio on theright can be reduced to the ratio on the left.
In general, two ratios are equal if there is some scale factor k ,such that k
k · ab = c
d .
In this case, since 33 · 2
9 = 627 , k = 3.
Many proportions can be solved by identifying the scalefactor, then working out any missing values.

Word Problems Involving Proportions
Many types of word problems involve proportions.
Information will usually be given about one ratio, while theremaining ratio will require solving.
Proportion problems usually have the format “if a is to b,then c is to. . .”
There may be more than one way to solve the problem. Aslong as the ratios are valid, solving a proportion using theprevious techniques should work.

Set up a proportion comparing the number of bricks, b, totheir masses.
b
10 000=
b − 1 680
5 8005 800b = 10 000(b − 1 680)
5 800b = 10 000b − 16 800 000
4 200b = 16 800 000
b = 4 000
A total of 4 000 bricks were on the pallet.
