Recognize and apply ratios and proportions to solve


real-life problems.

Solve problems involving the relative sizes of 2 quantities


where missing values can be found by using integer
multiplication and division facts.
In solving problems involving ratios and proportion:
First we are gonna want to get the given quantities
Second use the formula which is
x/y=z/w
Third check the answer that you got with the formula
(x)(w)=(y)(z)
And there you got your answer
example no. 1

In a picture, Kervin’s height is 7cm and his friend Rico is 9cm tall in the
picture. Kervin is 140 tall in real life. (Assuming that kervin and his
friend’s height in a photo is proportional to their actual height). What is
Rico’s actual height?
please watch the video for answer and explanation
another type of problems involving ratio and

in order to understand let us answer this problem:


If Viola wants to invest some of his savings in a conservative portfolio
