In a proportion there are letters assigned to represent various numbers. a, b, c, and d.

a, b, c, and d are 4 non-zero rational numbers that are terms of proportion.

a/b = c/d or a:b = c:d

a and d are the end terms or known as the extremes.
b and c are the middle terms or known as the means.

With this information, we can gather that the extremes of the following proportion are 3 and 60.

3/15 = 12/60 ; a/b = c/d
a = 3 ; b = 15 ; c = 12 ; d = 60

3 and 60 are the extremes
15 and 12 are the means

scale factor = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the scale factor, calculate the ratio of the length of the second rectangle to the length of the first rectangle. The corresponding ratio of widths should also equal the same ratio.

scale factor = $\frac{14.4}{12}$ = $\frac{6}{5}$ = 1.2
