Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the (Business Math with Grade 11) Module on ( Proportion ) !

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators

from Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge Schools
Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership with
the Local Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N.
Sotto.
The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most
Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal, social,
and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the learner:

Welcome to the Business Mathematics Module on (Proportion)!

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a
learner is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant
competencies and skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in
your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities
for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be
enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being an active
learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

L E S S ON

We will now discuss about proportion.

𝑎 𝑐
The variables a, b, c and d form a proportion if a:b = c:d or = 𝑑.
𝑏

Definition of Proportion
PROPORTION is a statement of equality of two ratios.
Examples:
3 6
1.
5
= 10
Examples 1,2 and 3 are
proportion since the ratios are
equivalent.

Yes, since the ratios are equivalent.

 1 3
2. =
2 6
5 1
3.
10
=2
2 4 8
4. = 6 = 12 Is this a proportion?
3

Rules in Proportion

We say a, b, c and d form a proportion such that a:b = c:d if and only if ad = bc. In
other words, the product of the extremes “ ad” is equal to the product of the means
“bc”.
Illustrative examples
1. Show that 25:100 = 1:4 is a proportion.
Solution: Means : (100)(1)= 100 Extremes: (25)(4)= 100
Therefore 25:100=1:4 is a proportion
Other solution: cross multiplication technique
25 1
100
=4 25 x 4 = 100, 100 x 1= 100 100 = 100
25 1
Therefore = 4 is a proportion.
100
2. Solve for N in the proportion 6:N = 3:2
Solution: 3N = 2 x 6 3N = 12 N= 4
6 3
Other solution: =2 12 = 3N N=4
𝑁

We can classify proportion into three (3) groups namely: Direct proportion,
Inverse or Indirect proportion and Partitive proportion.
DEFINITION:
1. Direct Proportion—A number is directly proportionate to another when, as
one value increases, the other also increases or when one decreases, the
other decreases as well.
Examples:
a. Score to a rating
b. Number of kilos of rice to the amount that you will pay
c. Your body size to the size of your uniform
2. Indirect/Inverse Proportion— A number is indirectly proportionate to
another when as one value increases the other decreases.
Examples
a. Time and speed
b. Law of supply and demand
c. Your acceleration and weight

3. Partitive Proportion—Involves identifying parts of a whole based on a given

ratio of their parts.
Examples:
 a. The ratio of boys to girls
b. An inherited treasure of the siblings in the family
c. Budget of the family

WRAP–UP

PROPORTION - refers to the equality of two ratios.

Rules in Proportion: The product of the means is equal to the product of the
extremes.
a:b=c:d b*c = c*d
Cross multiplication techniques - another solution for proportion
𝑎 𝑐
𝑏
= 𝑑
= b*c = a*d
Classification of Proportion
4. Direct Proportion—A number is directly proportionate to another when as
one value increase so does the other.
5. Indirect/Inverse Proportion—A number is indirectly proportionate to
another when as one value increases the other decreases.

6. Partitive Proportion—Involves identifying parts of a whole based on a given

ratio of their parts.

VALUING

Based on the discussion, proportion signifies equality of two ratios. In other words,
their quotient should be equal and their fractional form must be equivalent.
Proportion is mainly about the relationship of the size of one quantity when
compared to another. It can be found in many real-life situations. You use it in
your daily living that you may not even aware of it. Let’s take a look at situations
where a proportion can be used to solve real-life problem. When drawing or
painting realistically, proportion is needed. The resulting image will look less
realistic if proportion is incorrect. Cooks use proportion when following recipes.
Buying and selling, cooking, and travelling, are common real-life situations in
which proportions are not only prevalent but essential to correct and cost-effective
dealings.

Proportion also tells us the degree of relationship that we have to others. There are
relations that are focused on one direction like relationship with God. There must
be no other God that you want to build your relationship with. He is the only way,
the truth and the life. What does it mean when someone says “you will reap what
you sow”?
