Question

determine if the following are in proportion 3,4,6,7

Answer 1

they are not in proportion

Answer 2

Answer :

No, the numbers are not in proportion.

Step-by-step explanation :

A group of numbers is said to be in proportion if the product of their extremes is equal to product of their means.

Here,

3 : 4 : : 6 : 7

Extremes = 3 and 7

Product if extremes = 3 * 7 = 21

Means = 4 and 6

Product of means = 4 * 6 = 24

So, we conclude that ;

21 ≠ 24

∴ Product of extremes ≠ Product of means.

Hence, the given set of numbers are not in proportion.
