Answer 2

Answer:

The third term  of the proportion = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The first, second, and fourth terms of a proportion are 16,24, and 54 respectively

To find,

The Third term

Recall the concepts

If four numbers are in proportion, then we have

Product of the middle terms = Product of extreme terms

Solution:

Let the third term be 'x'

Then we have, 16,24,x,54 in proportion

The middle terms are 24 and x

The extreme terms are 16 and 54

Since, the product of the middle terms = product of extreme terms

24x = 16× 54

x = $\frac{16X54}{24}$

= $\frac{864}{24}$

x = 36

∴ The third term  of the proportion = 36
