Question

How do you test if two ratios a:ba:b and c:dc:d are proportional using the cross-multiplication method?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The ratios are proportional if the product of the extremes equals the product of the means. This is expressed by the formula: a×d=b×ca \times d = b \times c For example, 6:36:3 and 4:24:2 are proportional because 6×2=126 \times 2 = 12 and 3×4=123 \times 4 = 12.
