1
Find the value of x in the proportion
21:6 = 42:12
step 1
Write the given ratios in fraction form
y:6 =
y6
42:12 =
4212
step 2
Find the Means & Extremes
y6
=
4212
x 12 = 42 x 6
Extremes = 12, y
Means = 42, 6
step 3
Rearrange the statement to find y
y =
42 x 612
y = 21
step 4
The missing term in the proportion is 21
Therefore the proportion is 21:6 = 42:12
2
Find the value of x in the proportion
16:23 = 128:184
step 1
Write the given ratios in fraction form
y:23 =
y23
128:184 =
128184
step 2
Find the Means & Extremes
y23
=
128184
x 184 = 128 x 23
Extremes = 184, y
Means = 128, 23
step 3
Rearrange the statement to find y
y =
128 x 23184
y = 16
step 4
The missing term in the proportion is 16
Therefore the proportion is 16:23 = 128:184
3
Find the value of x in the proportion
5:6 = 45:54
step 1
Write the given ratios in fraction form
y:6 =
y6
45:54 =
4554
step 2
Find the Means & Extremes
y6
=
4554
x 54 = 45 x 6
Extremes = 54, y
Means = 45, 6
step 3
Rearrange the statement to find y
y =
45 x 654
y = 5
step 4
The missing term in the proportion is 5
Therefore the proportion is 5:6 = 45:54
4
Find the value of x in the proportion
20:11 = 120:66
step 1
Write the given ratios in fraction form
20:11 =
2011
y:11 =
y66
step 2
Find the Means & Extremes
2011
=
y66
20 x 66 = y x 11
Extremes = 20, 66
Means = 11, y
step 3
Rearrange the statement to find y
y =
20 x 6611
y = 120
step 4
The missing term in the proportion is 120
Therefore the proportion is 20:11 = 120:66
5
Find the value of x in the proportion
2: 7 = 10:35
step 1
Write the given ratios in fraction form
2:y =
2y
10:35 =
1035
step 2
Find the Means & Extremes
2y
=
1035
2 x 35 = 10 x y
Extremes = 2, 35
Means = 10, y
step 3
Rearrange the statement to find y
y =
2 x 3510
y = 7
step 4
The missing term in the proportion is 7
Therefore the proportion is 2: 7 = 10:35
6
Find the value of x in the proportion
25:13 = 225:117
step 1
Write the given ratios in fraction form
y:13 =
y13
225:117 =
225117
step 2
Find the Means & Extremes
y13
=
225117
x 117 = 225 x 13
Extremes = 117, y
Means = 225, 13
step 3
Rearrange the statement to find y
y =
225 x 13117
y = 25
step 4
The missing term in the proportion is 25
Therefore the proportion is 25:13 = 225:117
7
Find the value of x in the proportion
3: 22 = 24:176
step 1
Write the given ratios in fraction form
3:y =
3y
24:176 =
24176
step 2
Find the Means & Extremes
3y
=
24176
3 x 176 = 24 x y
Extremes = 3, 176
Means = 24, y
step 3
Rearrange the statement to find y
y =
3 x 17624
y = 22
step 4
The missing term in the proportion is 22
Therefore the proportion is 3: 22 = 24:176
8
Find the value of x in the proportion
7:24 = 14:48
step 1
Write the given ratios in fraction form
y:24 =
y24
14:48 =
1448
step 2
Find the Means & Extremes
y24
=
1448
x 48 = 14 x 24
Extremes = 48, y
Means = 14, 24
step 3
Rearrange the statement to find y
y =
14 x 2448
y = 7
step 4
The missing term in the proportion is 7
Therefore the proportion is 7:24 = 14:48
9

16:5 = 48:15
step 1
Write the given ratios in fraction form
16:5 =
165
y:5 =
y15
step 2
Find the Means & Extremes
165
=
y15
16 x 15 = y x 5
Extremes = 16, 15
Means = 5, y
step 3
Rearrange the statement to find y
y =
16 x 155
y = 48
step 4
The missing term in the proportion is 48
Therefore the proportion is 16:5 = 48:15
10
Find the value of x in the proportion
2: 7 = 18:63
step 1
Write the given ratios in fraction form
2:y =
2y
18:63 =
1863
step 2
Find the Means & Extremes
2y
=
1863
2 x 63 = 18 x y
Extremes = 2, 63
Means = 18, y
step 3
Rearrange the statement to find y
y =
2 x 6318
y = 7
step 4
The missing term in the proportion is 7
Therefore the proportion is 2: 7 = 18:63

Find the Missing Number in the Proportion Worksheet

Find the missing number in a proportion worksheet with answers for 6th grade math curriculum is available online for free in printable and downloadable (pdf & image) format. Tap on PRINT, PDF or IMAGE button to print or download this grade-6 ratio & proportion worksheet to practice how to find the missing values (mean or extreme) in the given proportions.

How to Use this Worksheet

In this sixth grade ratio & proportion worksheet, students are required to find the missing value of two ratios in proportion. Apply the law of proportion to find the missing number. The law of proportion states that the product of means is always equal to the product of extremes if two ratios are in equivalent, direct variation or proportion. If the ratio A is to B and C is to D is proportional
A : B = C : D
A : B :: C : D
A/B = C/D
A x D = C x B
The product of MEANS = The product of EXTREMES

Find the Missing Term in the Proportion
To find ATo find BTo find CTo find D
A = C x B/DB = A x D/CC = A x D/BD = C x B/A
