Question

16. What is the third proportion of 6 and 18.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The third proportional of two numbers “a” and “b” is defined as a number “c” such that

a : b :: b : c

In the present question, a = 6 and b = 8

This means a/b = b/c or c = (b^2 / a)

c = 64/6 or c = 32/3

The fraction can be written as

18 : 24 :: 24 : 32
