Question

Find the mean proportional between 0.32 and 0.08

Answer 1

0.08:x=x:.32.
X^2=.32*.08
X^2=0.0256
X=0.16
So mean proportion between 0.08 and 0.32 is0.16

Answer 2

The mean proportional between 0.32 and 0.08 is 0.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the mean proportional between 0.32 and 0.08.

Let the mean proportional between the two given numbers be 'x'.

So, the situation would be represented as below;

                  $0.32 : x :: x : 0.08$

As we know that in the proportion; Product of means = Product of extremes

So, according to the situation;

                    $x^{2} = 0.32 \times 0.08$

                    $x^{2} = 0.0256$

Taking square root on both sides we get;

                    $\sqrt{ x^{2} }= \sqrt{0.0256}$                  

                       $x = 0.16$

Hence, the mean proportional between 0.32 and 0.08 is 0.16.
