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
Y=Mx+b ddd d d d d d sans
6 1/2
First you find a common denominator. 1/4 = 3/12 and 1/3 = 4/12.
3/12 + 4/12 + 11/12 = 18/12.
18/12 = 6 6/12 = 6 1/2
