Question

Find the mean proportion between ¹/³⁶ and ¹/⁹

Answer 1

Answer:

1/18 is a proportion mean

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean proportional between 1/36 and 1/9 would be 1/18.

The mean proportional y between two numbers x and z is defined as number which satisfies property such that x/y = y/ z

Given x and z are 1/36 and 1/9 respectively Substituting in the above formula:

(1/36)/ y = y / (1/9)

(1/36)*(1/9) = y²

y = v(1/36)*(1/9)

y = 1/6 *1/3

y = 1/18
