a:b=c:d proportion
Since the meaning is the same, we can write:
a:b=c:d
or
a/b=c/d
or
a = c
b d
where with b ≠ 0 and d ≠ 0
Say: a is to b as c is to d
a and d are named extremes
b and c are called means
Enzo Exposyto 8
9. Proportions - Definition - 2
a:b=c:d A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal.
For example:
2:4 = 3:6
or
2/4 = 3/6
or
2 = 3
4 6
2 = 3 is equivalent to 1 = 1
4 6 2 2
Since the two ratios are equal,
these equalities represent the same proportion.
2 is to 4 as 3 is to 6
2 and 6 are named extremes
4 and 3 are called means
Enzo Exposyto 9
10. Proportions - Definition - 3
a:b=c:d A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal.
In other words, if, and only if, two ratios are equal,
the equality with the two ratios is a proportion.
For example, are the next equalities true?
Are they a proportion?
4:2 = 6:2
or
4/2 = 6/2
or
4 = 6
2 2
They aren't true, because
4 = 2 and 6 = 3
2 2
These equalities don’t exist and don't represent a proportion

12. Proportions - First 4 Properties - (1) - Proof
a:b=c:d proportion - Property (1) - Cross Products
a x d = b x c
Say: the product of the extremes
is equal to the product of the means
Proof:
a : b = c : d is equivalent to a = c
b d
If we multiply both sides by b x d
a x b x d= c x b x d and we simplify,
b d
since c x b = b x c (see the right side), we get:
a x d = b x c
Enzo Exposyto 12
13. Proportions - First 4 Properties - (1) - Examples
a:b=c:d proportion - Property (1) - Cross Products
a x d = b x c
Examples:
1) From the proportion 2:4 = 3:6 we get
2 x 6 = 4 x 3
12 = 12
2) From the proportion 15:5 = 9:3
or
15 = 9 that's equivalent to 3 = 3 and is true
5 3
we have
15 x 3 = 5 x 9
45 = 45

14. Proportions - First 4 Properties - (2a) - Proof
a:b=c:d proportion - Property (2a) - Extremes Switching Property
d : b = c : a with b ≠ 0 and a ≠ 0
If we switch the extremes each other,
we get two equal ratios
and, then, the new equality is a proportion
Proof:
a : b = c : d is equivalent to a = c
b d
If we multiply both sides by d
a x d = c x d a
b a d a
and simplify, we get
d = c which is equivalent to d : b = c : a
b a
Enzo Exposyto 14
15. Proportions - First 4 Properties - (2a) - Examples
a:b=c:d proportion - Property (2a) - Extremes Switching Property
d : b = c : a with b ≠ 0 and a ≠ 0
Examples:
1) From the proportion 2:4 = 3:6
if we exchange the extremes each other, we get
6 : 4 = 3 : 2 Since it means
3 : 2 = 3 : 2 the new equality is a proportion
2) From the proportion 15:5 = 9:3
if we switch the extremes each other, we have
3 : 5 = 9 : 15 Since its meaning is
3 : 5 = 3 : 5 the new equality is a proportion
Enzo Exposyto 15
16. Proportions - First 4 Properties - (2b) - Proof
a:b=c:d proportion - Property (2b) - Means Switching Property
a : c = b : d with c ≠ 0 and d ≠ 0
If we switch the means each other,
we get two equal ratios
and, then, the new equality is a proportion
Proof:
a : b = c : d is equivalent to a = c
b d
If we multiply both sides by b
a x b = c x b c
b c d c
and simplify, we get
a = b which is equivalent to a : c = b : d
c d
Enzo Exposyto 16
17. Proportions - First 4 Properties - (2b) - Examples
a:b=c:d proportion - Property (2b) - Means Switching Property
a : c = b : d with c ≠ 0 and d ≠ 0
Examples:
1) From the proportion 2:4 = 3:6
if we exchange the means each other, we get
2 : 3 = 4 : 6 Since it means
2 : 3 = 2 : 3 the new equality is a proportion
2) From the proportion 15:5 = 9:3
if we exchange the means each other, we have
15 : 9 = 5 : 3 Since its meaning is
5 : 3 = 5 : 3 the new equality is a proportion

18. Proportions - First 4 Properties - (3) - Proof
a:b=c:d proportion - Property (3) - Upside-Down Property
b : a = d : c with a ≠ 0 and c ≠ 0
If we switch extreme for mean to both sides,
we get two equal ratios
and, then, the new equality is a proportion
Proof:
a : b = c : d is equivalent to a = c
b d
If we multiply both sides by b x d
a x b x d = c x b x d a c
b a c d a c
and simplify, we get
d = b or b = d that's equivalent to b : a = d : c
c a a c

19. Proportions - First 4 Properties - (3) - Another Proof
a:b=c:d proportion - Property (3) - Upside-Down Property
b : a = d : c with a ≠ 0 and c ≠ 0
Another Proof:
a : b = c : d is equivalent to a = c

2 = 2 the new equality is a proportion
2) From the proportion 15:5 = 9:3 we have
5 : 15 = 3. : 9 Since its meaning is
1 : 3 = 1 : 3 the new equality is a proportion
