Ratio
A comparison of two quanities with the same units.
Proportion
A statement that two ratios are equal

a/b = c/d , where b,d are not equal to 0.
How are ratios written?
a to b, a : b, a/b
Percents
Are ratios in which the second number is always 100.
Unit rate
compares the price to the number of units:

$1.50/8oz = $0.083
What are the terms of the proportion

a/b = c/d
a,b,c, and d
What are the extremes of the proportion

a/b = c/d
a & d
What is the means of the proportion

a/b = c/d
c & b
How do you find the product of

a/b = c/d
Multiply diagonally

a x d and b x c
Cross Products
the cross multipier in the proportion

a/b = c/d , are

ad and bc
Can the proportion

a/b = c/d , also can be written;

ac = bd
True
How do you determine if a proportion is true?
check to see if the cross products are equal

a/b = c/d ; a x d = b x c
How do you find the unknown in a proportion?
four numbers are used in a proportion. If any three of these numbers are known the fourth can be found:

5/9 = x/63
5 x 63 = 9x
315 = 9x
315/9 = 9x/9
35 = x
When can the cross product method can't be used directly?
If there is more than one term on either side of the equal symbol.
