Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the 3rd proportional is to find the third number in this:
6 : 18 :: 18 : x
To do that, we must know that:
Product of the two extremes = Product of the mean
So applying that knowledge to find x:
6x = 18 x 18
6x = 324
x = 324 ÷ 6
x = 54
Answer: The third proportional is 54
