什么是 Proportionality?

Definition 44.1 Primary & Middle School Mathematics · 第 44 章 — Proportionality and Data

Two quantities are proportional when the values of one are obtained from the values of the other by multiplying always by the same number, called the proportionality coefficient.

示例

Example 44.2

Notebooks at 22 euros each:

notebooks3355881212
price (euros)66101016162424

Each price is the number of notebooks ×2\times 2: the coefficient is 22 (the unit price). A quick check that a table is proportional: all the “column quotients” 63,105,168,2412\frac{6}{3}, \frac{10}{5}, \frac{16}{8}, \frac{24}{12} must be equal — here they all equal 22.

Example 44.3 (A non-example)

Age and height are not proportional: a 1212-year-old is not twice as tall as a 66-year-old. Check on numbers: 1.501.50 m at 1212 years and 1.151.15 m at 66 years give quotients 1.5012=0.125\frac{1.50}{12} = 0.125 and 1.156≈0.19\frac{1.15}{6} \approx 0.19 — not equal.
