Understanding Proportions: Types & Examples

This document discusses three types of proportions: direct, inverse, and partitive. It provides examples to illustrate each type. Direct proportion involves two variables that change in the same direction. Inverse proportion involves two variables that change in opposite directions. Partitive proportion involves partitioning a whole into ratios.

DIRECT,

INVERSE, AND
PARTITIVE
PROPORTIONS
OBJECTIVES
In this lesson, the students will be able to:
1)Differentiate direct, inverse, and partitive
proportions,
2)Identify if the problem illustrates a
direct, inverse, or partitive proportions,
and
3)Solve direct, inverse, and partitive
proportion problems.
Example #1:
If 10 laptops cost 200,000 pesos, then how much do
8 laptops cost?

We see that the greater the number of laptops, the


higher is the cost. Setting up the ratio, we obtain
Direct Proportion
Direct Proportion has two values that
may vary but the ratio between them
remains the same. In this proportion, a
change in one variable is accompanied
by a change in the other. If one variable
increases, the other will also increase
and a decrease in one will also
decrease the other.
Example #2:
In a T-shirt design factory, 5 employees can finish
designing 20 T-shirts in one hour. How long will it take
10 people to make 20 designs?

Solution:
We think of this problem this way. If 5 employees can finish 20
designs in one hour, then 10 employees will take less than an
hour to do the designs.

/ 30 minutes
Inverse Proportion
We see in the problem that the more
employees on a job, the less time
needed to finish the job. When an
increase in one quantity results to a
decrease in another, it shows an
inverse proportion.
Example #3:
Karen wants to donate her collection of figurines to four
friends in the ratio 1:3:3:5. She has a total of 96
figurines. If her best friend wants the most number of
figurines, how many figurines will she get?

Solution:
In this problem, the 96 figurines is divided in such a
way that it is in ratio 1:3:3:5.
Getting the sum of the ratios, we obtain 1+3+3+5 = 12.
Dividing 96 by 12, we get 8. Thus one of her friends will
receive 8 figurines, the other two friends will get
8(3) = 24 figurines each and her best friend will get
8(5) = 40 figurines.
Partitive Proportion
When a whole is partitioned into equal
or unequal ratios, such concept
involves partitive proportions. In the
problem, the total number of figurines
is partitioned into ratio 1:3:3:5, thus
making use of partitive proportions.
