...multiply the third term by the ratio of the first to the second, we shall obtain the fourth term. Again : the first term is to the third as the second is to the fourth; for^=3 and f$=3, therefore, whether we multiply 10 by 3, the ratio of 5 to 15, or 15 by 2, the ratio... | |

...may prove that : a : с = b : d, b : d = a : c, с : d = a : b, etc. 313. In any proportion the terms are in proportion by Alternation ; that is, the first term is to the third, as the second term is to the fourth. Let a:b = c:d. Then by Art. 309, ad = be. Whence by Art. 312, a:r. = b:d. 314.... | |

If four quantities are in proportion, they are in proportion by inversion ; that is, the second term is to the first as the fourth is to the third.
