Lesson 53:

Finding the Missing Term in a Pair of


Equivalent Ratios
Explore and Discover!

• Marie can make 3 small mango pies for


every 5 mangoes. How many pies can she
make with 25 mangoes?
• The ratio in the problem is 3 : 5. This
means that for every 3 pies, Marie
needs 5 mangoes.
But how do we solve the problem?
We use equivalent ratios to find
how many pies Marie can make
with 25 mangoes.
To find the missing term in a pair of
equivalent ratios, solve for equivalent
fractions.
3 = pies
5 25 mangoes
3 x 5 = 15 Think: To get 25, you multiplied the denominator by
5 x 5 = 25 5, so we multiply the numerator by 5 also.

Marie can make 15 pies.


Get Moving!
Tell whether the following given ratios are proportions.
Write YES if they are and NO if not, change one term to
make them proportions.

1) 4 28 2)18 : 45 and 4 : 12
and
5 35 4) 3 : 21 and 6 : 40
20 and 15
3) 5) 9 : 12 and 27 : 32
48 36
B. Solve for the missing term in each
proportion

1) 6 : n = 8 : 12
2) y : 6 = 28 : 84
3) m : 7 = 6 :
4) 14 : 21 = 2 : n
5)20 : 24 = x : 6
Keep Moving!
Tell whether n = 22 is a reasonable answer
to complete each proportion. Write YES or
NO on the blank before each number.
_____ 1) n = 11 _______ 3) 45 = 15
24 12 60 n

_____ 2) 44 = n __ 4) n = 110
72 36 33 165
B. Solve for the missing term and check.
1) a = 3 2) 90 = a 3) x = 49
32 4 54 3 9 63

4) 2 = n 5) n = 9 6) 3 = 24
5 30 17 51 10 n
7)n = 32 8) 5 = 23 1 = 28
9)
4 24 n 69 7 x
