Question

first and the fourth terms of a proportion is called_____terms
a. middle
b. extreme
c. ratio
d. consequent​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer is (b) no. Extreme

Answer 2

Answer:

We know, the first term (1st) and the fourth term (4th) of a proportion are called extreme terms or extremes, and the second term (2nd) and the third term (3rd) are called middle terms or means. Therefore, in a proportion, product of extremes = product of middle terms. Thus, the ratios 6 : 8 and 12 : 16 are equal.

B) EXTREME IS THE CORRECT ANSWER
