•
To
solve
a
proportion,
calculate
equivalent
fractions
in
order
to
be
sure
the
two
fractions
(ratios)
are
equal.
How
to
solve
simple
proportions:
•
When
solving
proportions,
think
equivalent
fractions.
For
instance,
1/2
=
2/4
=
3/6
=
4/8
•
Because
any
number
times
one
is
itself,
any
fraction
times
one
is
itself
(an
equivalent).
•
The
number
1
can
be
written
as
any
fraction
in
which
the
numerator
and
denominator
are
the
same:
2/2,
6/6,
12/12,
50/50,
etc.
•
To
calculate
an
equivalent
fraction,
multiply
by
one.
Decide
on
the
fraction
equal
to
one
by
determining
the
multiplication
factors
for
the
new
denominator
needed.
