Solving Scale Problems Using Proportions

Question 1 • FL-1205040-M/J Grade 7 Mathematics B -GF

Which statement is true about setting up a proportion to solve for the missing measure?

Answer
A
Corresponding parts must be in different positions.
B
Corresponding parts must be in the same position.
C
The two ratios are not equal.
D
The enlargement is not proportional to the original figure.

Explanation

To set up a proportion, write two equal ratios comparing corresponding measures. The corresponding parts must be in the same position in each ratio—for example, original width over enlarged width and original height over enlarged height. Thus, the true statement is that corresponding parts must be in the same position.
