CONTAINING, PROPORTION, INTEREST, REBATE, BARTER, LOSS AND GAIN, SINGLE AND DOUBLE FELLOWSHIP. PROPORTION. PROPORTION, is commonly called the Rule of Three; because a question or problem in this rule, has three numbers given to find a fourth; and in ancient times it was called “The Golden RULE OF THREE," by reason of its usefulness For, by this rule, we can solve many crafty, critical, and astonishingly curious questions, which could not be done without knowing this method in calculation.
