What is Proportion?
• Proportion is a comparison between two numbers or quantities.
• Used when two ratios or rates are equal.
• Example: 2:3 = 4:6
• 🔧 Number scale or ratio infographic
Types of Proportion
• • Direct Proportion: Both values increase or decrease together
• • Inverse Proportion: One value increases while the other decreases
• 🔧 Proportion formula background
Direct Proportion
• • Quantities increase/decrease in the same ratio
• • Formula: x/y = k or x ∝ y
• Example: If x = 2 and y = 4, and x becomes 6, then y = 12
• 🔧 Direct graph line image
Inverse Proportion
• • One quantity increases while the other decreases
• • Formula: x × y = k or x ∝ 1/y
• Example: 4 workers = 6 days → 8 workers = 3 days
• 🔧 Inverse hyperbola curve background
Graph of Direct Proportion
• • Straight line through origin
• • x ∝ y, constant ratio
• 🔧 Coordinate graph grid
Graph of Inverse Proportion
• • Curved line (hyperbola)
• • x ∝ 1/y, product is constant
• 🔧 Curved graph hyperbola HD
Comparison of Graphs
• Direct: Straight line
• Inverse: Hyperbola
• Use graphs to visualize proportional relationships
• 🔧 Split view: one straight, one curve
Real-Life Example: Cooking
• Scaling ingredients is a direct proportion example
• 🔧 Kitchen measurements overlay
Real-Life Example: Shopping
• More quantity means more cost (Direct Proportion)
• 🔧 Shopping cart with tags
Real-Life Example: Transport
• Speed ↑ → Time ↓ (Inverse Proportion)
• 🔧 Road with speed symbols
Real-Life Example: Construction
• Workers ↑ → Days ↓ (Inverse Proportion)
• 🔧 Construction site background
Solved Problem: Direct
• 15 pens cost Rs. 45. What will 10 pens cost?
• Solution: 1 pen = 3, 10 pens = Rs. 30
• 🔧 Notebook, pen & price tag visuals
Solved Problem: Inverse
• 6 men = 10 days → 4 men = ?
• Solution: 6×10 = 4×x → x = 15 days
• 🔧 Workforce symbol or team diagram
NCERT Qs & Answers
• Q: 5 machines take 4 days. How long for 10 machines?
• Ans: Inverse → 5×4 = 10×x → x = 2 days
• 🔧 NCERT cover or diagram sketch
