Each vocabulary word should be matched to its correct definition as follows;
1. extremes ↔ the first numerator and second denominator of a proportion.
2. proportion ↔ a statement of equality between two fractions (ratios).
3. means ↔ the first denominator and second numerator of a proportion.
In Mathematics and Euclidean Geometry, a ratio is an expression that denotes the proportion of two or more quantities with respect to one another and the total quantities.
Hence, a proportion refers to a statement of equality between two fractions, which are ratios.
Additionally, extremes refers to the first numerator and second denominator of a proportion, which corresponds to the first and forth terms of the proportion resepctively.
Means refers to the first denominator and second numerator of a proportion, which corresponds to the second and third terms of the proportion resepctively.
