Chapter 4: Proportionality
 one quantity increases, the other quantity d ecreases at the
sam e rate.
Direct
N otevs Indirect
how Proportionality
similar this d efinition is to the p revious d efi-
nition of d irect proportionality. The only d ifference here is
that one quantity increases w hile the other d ecreases:

D irect Proportionality Inverse Proportionality

As one quantity increases, As one quantity increases,
the other quantity increases the other quantity decreases
In ord er to d eterm ine w hat type of problem you’re work-
ing on,
Theyou’ll
rate of need toisthink
increase calledcritically about
the constant the quantities in-
of proportionality
volved , and use clues from your experience and the context
 Constant of Proportionality

  Direct: As increases increases Example: You make $36 working 3 hours

  Constant (rate) of Proportionality:  $ 36 =12 𝑑𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟 h𝑜𝑢𝑟
3 h𝑟𝑠

  Indirect: As increases decreases Example: 4 people can paint a fence in 3 hours

4  𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 ×3 h𝑟𝑠 =12 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 h𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠

  Constant of Proportionality:
 Solving Proportionality Problems

Example: You make $36 working 3 hours How much money would you make working 5 hours?

 $ 36 =12 𝑑𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟 h𝑜𝑢𝑟  

3 h𝑟𝑠

How many hours would it take 6 people?

Example: 4 people can paint a fence in 3 hours 12
  𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 h𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠
=2 h𝑟𝑠
6 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒
4  𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 ×3 h𝑟𝑠 =12 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 h𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠
How many people would it take to finish in 2 hours?
12
  𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 h𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠 =6 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒

Chapter 5: Rates
Exchange Rates
The exchange rate for Canadian dollars (CAN) to USD is 1:0.76. 

a) If you exchanged 35 CAN for USD, how many USD would you get?

 Better Deal: cost per unit
You realize in a moment of panic that you are almost out of diapers for your two-year
old. You make a midnight run to the store to pick up some more. Only two brands are
available in your kid’s size. The Pampers box costs $25.38 and contains 68 diapers. The
Huggies box costs $57.73 and contains 160 diapers. Which brand is the better deal?
(You will end up using them all no matter which you buy… of course you will)

 $ 25.38
Pampers cost per diaper: ≈ 37 𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑝𝑒𝑟
68 𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠

  $ 57.73
Huggies cost per diaper: ≈ 36 𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑝𝑒𝑟
