Solve proportions

Find the missing value n in a proportion written with fractions or with colons.

About this worksheet

Each problem gives two equal ratios with one missing value, called n. Write the proportion as fractions, with colons, or a mix. The missing value can always be the last one, or can be any of the four.

Every answer is a whole number. The solved example uses cross products: multiply across, then divide.
