well during class hour.

D. PRESENTATION Teacher will present their lessons through PowerPoint presentation or visual.

E. DISCUSSION
What is Ratio? What is Proportion?

- Ratio is a comparison of two quantities.

- Two equal ratios form proportion.
- Ratios can be written as fractions.
- We can use colon (:) or fraction form in writing ratios.

Example: Mang Jose planted 12 fruit trees in his orchard. Of these trees, 5 are mango trees and the rest
are apple trees.
*picture here as shown in the slideshow presentation*

Let us compare the number of mango trees to the total number of fruits planted.
The ratio is 5:12 or 5/12.
- Ratios, like fraction can be express in lowest term.
Ex. 4:2 = 2:1
8/10 = 4/5
3:15 = 1:5
- Ratios must be expressed first in both measurement and unit.
Ex. 6hours to 2days
To make the unit same, we will change days to hours. 6hours to 48hours = 6:48 = 1:8

- The statement that the two ratios are equal called Proportion. Example: 3:10 = 15:50
(3 and 50 are called extremes, 10 and 15 are called means)
To prove that they are equal, use cross multiplication.
 3 . 50 = 150 15 . 10 = 150

- Finding the term in proportion.

n:3 = 10:15 n is the unknown variable.
To find the unknown variable, follow these steps.

Step1. Write the proportion in fraction form.

10
=
3 15
Step2. Multiply the extremes and then the means.Note that we use the raised dot () for multiplication
instead of x symbol.

10
= 3 = 10 15 n . 15 = 15n, 10 . 3 = 30
3 15
Step3. Divide both sides of the equation by 15, the coefficient of the variable.

15 30
= n=2
15 15
To check, replace n with 2 then cross multiply. Hence, 2:3 = 10:15 is a proportion.

IV. EVALUATION
A. Direction: Express the following ratios in lowest term.
1. 5:20
2. 12:24
3. 6:18
4. 21:7
5. 8:18

B. Direction: Find the value of n in each following proportion.

6. n/4 = 3/6
7. 18/12 = 10/n
8. 5:n = 1:2
9. 3:7 = 24:n
10. n/10 = 18/5
