Learning Competency:
The learner finds a missing term in a proportion (direct, inverse, and partitive).
(M6NS-IIb-133)
Context:
This learning activity sheet provides you self-learning guide for the learners and
brings you lessons that will help you understand, discover, and learn the concepts of
Mathematics specifically on various kinds of proportion which encompass not only in
every detail of our lives, but also in the real-life situation from the simplest to the most
complex problem involving the concept of proportion.
Direct Proportion states that when one value increases, the other value
increases also.
Example 1
A store sells globes and hourglasses. The ratio of the number of hourglasses to the
number of globes in their stockroom is 5 : 3. If there are 20 hourglasses, how many
globes are there?
Number of hourglasses 5 20
Number of globes 3 ?
Hourglasses : Globes 5:3 20 : ?
As the number of hourglasses increases, the number of globes also increases.

This means that the number of hourglasses is directly proportional to the number of
globes.
Set up the proportion to solve the problem. How can we

find the missing term in this proportion?
Method 1: Using cross products (in fraction form)
5 x ? = 3 x 20 (The cross products of a proportion are equal.)

5 x ? = 60 (Think: 5 multiplied by what number is 60?)
Method 2: Using cross products (in colon form)
The first and last terms are called the extremes.

The second and third terms are called the means.
In a proportion, the products of the means and the

extremes are equal.
(Think: 5 times what number is 60?)
The missing term in the proportion is 12.

There are 12 globes in the store’s stockroom.
Inverse proportion states that when one value increases the other value
decreases and vice versa.
Example 2
When a super typhoon hit a barangay, 15 families along the river side were
transferred to the evacuation center. The Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD) provided certain packs of food for them which are enough for
8 meals. But 5 more families along the shoreline were also evacuated and brought to
the same evacuation center. How many meals will the food last now given the same
amount of food with additional family evacuees?
Use the four-step problem-solving process to guide you.
Understand
What is asked?
I am looking for the time the food will last if consumed by 20 families (15 + 5
more families).
What do I know about the problem?
I know that a certain pack of food will last for 8 meals for 15 family evacuees. If
5 more families were added, the food will last less than 8 meals.
This means that when the number of families increases, the number meals the food
will last decreases.
This word problem involves inverse proportion.
Plan
I can organize the given information in a table.
To set up the proportion, I need to switch the terms in one quantity to make the
ratios equivalent.
Solve
Use cross products to find the missing term.

Telephone No.: (045) 925-5293
REGION III
15 x 8 = 20 x ? (The cross products of a proportion are equal.)

120 = 20 x ? (Think: 120 is the product of what number and 20?)
The missing term is 6.
Check
15 20
6 = 8
15 x 8 = 20 x 6
120 = 120 (The cross products are equal.)
Answer: The pack of food will last for 6 days for 20 family evacuees.
Partitive proportion involves classifying part of a whole based on a given ratio

being divided or distributed into two or more unequal parts.
Example 3
Thea visited her grandparents in the farm. The ratio of the chicken to ducks is 7:4.
The difference is 15. How many chickens and how many ducks are there?
Use the four-step problem-solving process to guide you.

Understand
What is asked? Thea is looking for the number of chicken and the number of
ducks in the farm.
What do I know about the problem?
I know that the number of chicken and the number of ducks Thea
saw in the farm is in the ratio of 7:4. The difference of chicken and
ducks is 15.
This word problem involves partitive proportion.
Plan
I can draw a model.
Solve
3 units → 15 Difference of terms in two ratio.

1 unit → 15 ÷ 3 = 5 Divide the terms by the number of units.
7 units → 7 x 5 = 35 chickens Multiply each term by the value of each unit

4 units → 4 x 5 = 20 ducks
Check
35 chickens – 20 ducks = 15 The difference in the number of two animals
Answer: Thea saw 35 ducks and 20 chickens in the farm.
