The product of the MEANS (the green quantities) equals the product
of the EXTREMES (the red quantities:

green%28expr%282%2F3%29N%29%22%22=%22%22red%28expr%283%2F4%29%2A1%29

green%28expr%282%2F3%29N%29%22%22=%22%22red%28expr%283%2F4%29%29

So divide 3%2F4%22%F7%222%2F3%22%22=%22%223%2F4%22%D7%223%2F2%22%22=%22%229%2F8%22%22=%22%221%261%2F8

So,
