UNIT 8. Proportionality INTRODUCTIONDefinition. A ratio expresses the magnitude of quantities relative to each other.

A ratio is expressed algebraically as a quotient.Example: For every spoon of sugar, you need 2 spoons of flour. The ratio is .

In English we generally separate the two numbers in the ratio with a colon (:).

Suppose we want to write the ratio of 8 and 12. We can write this as 8:12 or as a

fraction , and we say the ratio is eight to twelve.

A proportion is an equality of two ratios. Example:

1. Direct Proportionality

Sometimes a change in one quantity causes a change in another quantity. If these changes are related through equal factors, then the quantities are in direct proportion. Then the two quantities are directly proportional.

Example.Suppose that you are buying cans of soup at the store. Let us imagine that they cost 50 cents each. Changing the number of cans that you buy will change the amount of money that you pay.If you buy 4 cans, you will pay $2.00. But if you buy 8 cans. You will pay $4.00. Both the number of cans and the cost changed by the same factor: they increase or decrease by the same factor.

If quantities A and B are in direct proportion and we have other measures of them as quantity A’ and quantity B’:

Quantity A Quantity BQuantity A’ Quantity B’

The following ratios are equal: This ratio is called proportionality constant

Also:

2. Rule of three

For an equation of the form:where the variable to be worked out is x, the rule of three states that:

In this context, a is called the extreme of the proportion, and b and c are called the means. See these numbers in order: (a ,b, c, x)

This rule is used to solve problems where two quantities are in direct proportion.

ExampleLet’s say that we want to know how far a car will get in 7 hours, if we know that its speed is constant and that it already travelled 90 miles in the last 3 hours.

Converting the problem into ratios we get:3 hours 90 miles7 hours x miles

And also.

The rule of three can be used to calculate x directly: = 210 miles.The proportion factor is the constant mph, it is the proportionality constant.

3. Reciprocal proportion = Inverse proportion

The formal definition of inverse proportion is:Two quantities, A and B, are in inverse proportion if by whatever factor A changes, B changes by the reciprocal of that factor.

Example. Let us say that you are driving a car and you are going to travel 60 miles. Suppose that you spent 1 hour driving. Your average speed would be 60 mph.If you spent 2 hours driving, your average speed would be 30 mph.The two quantities, time and speed, changed by reciprocal factors: time changed by a factor of 2, whereas speed changed by a factor of ½.

That is, when two quantities change by reciprocal factors, they are inversely proportional or they are in inverse proportion. This means that one quantity increases as much as the other decreases.

Then, the following is true Quantity A (60m)

Quantity B (1h)

Quantity A’(30m)

Quantity B’(2h)

60·1=30·2

And also: . 60/30=2/1This gives us a new rule of three: the inverse rule of three.

4. Inverse rule of three.

If two quantities A and B are inversely proportional:

Quantity A Quantity BQuantity A’ Quantity B’

We have the relationship: , or

In problems, when the unknown x is to be calculated:Quantities Numbers Numbers

A a bB c x

If quantities A and B are inversely proportional, these numbers satisfy:

(Only quantities c and a are swapped) to swap:

The inverse rule of three states that:We work out:

Problem. Three people can build a fence in 7 hours. How long will it take five people to complete the same job?

Problem. A hose that delivers 220 gallons of water per hour can fill a pool in 16.5 hours. A second hose delivers 300 gallons of water per hour.

o Using only the second hose, how long would it take to fill the pool?

o Using both hoses together, how long would it take to fill the pool?

Hose: manguera

Only second hose: Gph hours220 --------- 16.5300 --------- x INVERSE PROPORTION

Both hoses:

5. Percentages.A percentage is the numerator of a fraction whose denominator is 100.

100% of any number is just the number unchanged. 200% of any number is twice the number. A half can be written as:i) a percentage: 50%;ii) a decimal: 0.5iii) or a fraction: .

Example 1. Calculate the 25% of 80.25% means (25 over 100), then:

25% of 80 = of 80 = = = 20.

Notice that this can also be calculated with decimals as: .

To calculate a percentage we use the corresponding fraction of 25%, that is . Or the product by the corresponding decimal number: 0.25

Percentages can also be calculated with the rule of three.

Total Part% : 100 25

Number: 80 x

x = = 20

Example 2. In a students election, Sam got 66% of the votes polled. If he got 363 votes, find the total number of voters.Solution.

When we know the part and need to find the total, the rule of three is helpful:

Total Part% 100 66

number x 363

x = = 550 voters.

To calculate the total there is also a direct way: voters.

To calculate the total we use the reciprocal fraction of 66%, that is

or the rule of three.

Example 3. Reductions. A skateboard is reduced 25% in price in a sale. The old price was $120. Find the new price.

(We need to do a reduction)25% of 120 is 30 ( ). The reduction is $30.120 30 = 90. The final price of the skateboard in the sale is $90.

The general way to get reductions, directly, is: 100 25 = 75.75 % of 120 = .

REDUCING A QUANTITY BY A PERCENTAGETo make a reduction of an a% to a quantity:

1. Calculate b = 100 a.2. Multiply the quantity by . (this fraction is less than 1)

Example 4. Increases. A certain computer is advertised on the Web at a price of $1099, excluding VAT. If VAT is added at 17.5%, what price will you actually have to pay?Solution. VAT: value added tax = IVA(We have to add the tax to the price)

17.5% of 1099 = is the tax.The final price will be: 1099 + 192.325 = $ 1291.325.

The general way to get increases, directly, is: 100 + 17.5 =117.5.

117.5 % of 1099 = .

INCREASING A QUANTITY BY A PERCENTAGETo make an increase of an a% to a quantity:

3. Calculate b = 100 + a.4. Multiply the quantity by . (this fraction is greater than 1)

ExampleIncrease 40 € by a 15%We are going to pay 100+15 =115%We will pay: 1.15 · 40 = 46€
