Question

Which numbers are the means of the proportion shown below 2/3 = 20/30

Answer 1

A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal. In problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. To find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.

Consider given proportion

$\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{20}{30}.$

Here, 2 and 30 are the extremes and 3 and 20 are the means.

Answer: the means are 3 and 20.
