Question

find the third proportion for 6 and 12​

Answer 1

answer

Therefore we can write 1.2, 0.6 in the form: 1.20.6=0.6x where x is the third proportional.

Answer 2

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct proportion has 4 proportionals.

a = c

b d

However, sometimes the second and third have the same value.

(b=c)

In this case they are called the mean proportional and the last one is then known as the third proportional.

This means we have:

6 = 12

12 x

which can be written as two equal ratios:

6:12=12:x:

Cross-multiply to get

6x=144

x=24
