Solving Proportions

How do you solve a proportion? Let this seventh-grade math worksheet help! This one-page practice page begins with an example problem that illustrates how cross products and inverse operations can be used to solve for a variable in two equivalent ratios. Learners will then apply what they've learned to solve for the variable in nine practice problems. Each problem includes variables in either the numerator or denominator of a ratio set equal to ratios made up of two- and three-digit numbers. Solving proportions is an important foundational skill for reasoning with proportions in real-world scenarios.
