Question 1172723: Write two possible proportions having the extremes 5 and 8. Can you please show solutions on how to find possible proportions? Thank you Answer by Solver92311(821) (Show Source):
In the proportion , and are the extremes and and are the means. In any proportion, the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes. So multiply 5 times 8 and then find two other numbers that multiplied together result in that same product.
