Can you please help me with something? My question is how do i solve proportions?
------------
If you're given:
a:b::c:d (a is to b as c is to d)
The product of the means (inside terms) = product of the extremes (outside terms)
------------
a*d = b*c
That's all.
------------
It's the same as
a/b = c/d
