Question

Which numbers are the extremes of the proption shown below. 3/4 = 6/8

Answer 1

3 and 8

Explanation:

Given the proportion:

`(3)/(4) = (6)/(8)`

Required:

Find the extreme values.

When given an equation like the one we have here, there is always a very easy way to find the extreme value.

First make rewrite to a ratio form:

Example:

a:b = c:d

Just know that extreme values are the values on the outside of the ratio(a & d)

Therefore,

3:4 = 6:8

When it is written this way extreme values are 3 & 8

Extreme values = 3 and 8
