...have equal denominators ; hence, their numerators are equal, that is, 5 x 8 = 2 x 20 ; in this case the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes. But we can reason in like manner on any proportion ; hence, we have the following principle : 1°.... | |

...proportion are called means (9 and 10); the first and fourth extremes (15 and 6). When four numbers form a proportion, the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes. Thus, 6 : 3 : : 8 : 4 ; here, 6X4, the extremes, = 8X3, the means, = 24. form a proportion, the factors... | |
