a DIRECT the following kinds of cloth to
choose from:
• Cloth A: per yard
• Cloth B: per yard

The number of yards can be The number of yards can be

computed as follows: computed as follows:
6,000 ÷ 120=50 𝑦𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑠 6,000 ÷ 100=60 𝑦𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑠
Notice that as the price of the cloth decreases, the number of yards
From this equation, you can also form the From this equation, you can also form the
of cloth you can buy increases. This Illustratesfollowing
following equation
the concept of
equation
indirect proportion
( 120 ) ( 50 ) =6,000 ( 100 ) ( 60 ) =6,000
 INDIRECT PROPORTION
An indirect proportion exists between two quantities if, as one quantity
decreases, the other quantity increases proportionately. Ley us analyze
this type of proportion further.
From the given situation we can form this equality:
( 𝟏𝟐𝟎 )( 𝟓𝟎 )=(𝟏𝟎𝟎)(𝟔𝟎)
Both sides of quality are equal to , which is called the constant of
proportionality of indirect proportion between the price of cloth and
the number of yards of cloth.

then

 Identifying the Type of Proportion
Tell whether each situation shows a direct or an indirect proportion between the
given quantities. Then solve the problem.
