Question

In 4:7::16:28, 7 and 16 are called which terms

Answer 1

In 4:7::16:28, 7 and 16 are called the middle terms.

• In mathematics, the terms presented represent the concept of proportion.
• The proportion can be written as- a:b::c:d.
• Extremes are the first and fourth terms in proportion.
• The means or middle terms in the proportion are the second and third terms.
• When the product of two mean terms equals the product of two extreme terms, the ratios are proportional to one another.
• If the product of two mean terms is equal to the product of two extreme terms then both the ratio are proportional to each other.

• Extreme terms

       a= 4

       d= 28

• Mean or middle terms

       b= 7

       c= 16

• Hence, 7 and 16 are called mean or middle terms in the given proportion.
