Answer:

3 and 60

Explanation:

A proportion is a mathematical expression in which two ratios are shown to be equal.

Hence


a/b = c/d \\ is proportion .

it can be also written as a:b= c:d

The four part a,b,c,d can be divided into two groups

  • means : b and c are means
  • extremes: a and d are extremes

based on above discussion

in proportion 3/15=12/60

3 is in position of a

and

60 is in position of d

Thus, 3 and 60 are extremes in 3/15=12/60 proportion.
