...=-jtyeducing the fractions, ad=bc. Thus 12: 8:: IS: 10, therefore 12x10=8x15. 375. On the other hand, if the product of two quantities is equal to the product of two others, the four quantities will form a proportion, when they are so arranged, that those .on one side of the...

...is, in both cases the same. And if no : b'. '.x : yy then a : b'.'.x : ny. 375. On the other hand, if the product of two quantities is equal to the product of two others, the four quantities will form a proportion, when they are so arranged, that those on one side of the...

...other that AxD=B*C, i „ , , BD we shall also have ~T=~r' A. O and hence, A : B : : C : D; that is, if the product of two quantities is equal to the product of two other quantities, two of them may be made the extremes, and the other two the means of a proportion....

...each other that AxD=BxC, we shall also have — =— ; A. L> , and hence, A : B : : C : D. That is : If the product of two quantities is equal to the product of two other quantities, two of them may be made the extremes, and the other two the means of a proportion....

...related to each other that we shall also have — =— ., jfi O and hence, A : B : : C : D; that is, if the product of two quantities is equal to the product of two other quantities, two of them may be made the extremes, and the other two the means of a proportion....

...Thus, if we have the proportion 3 : 6 : : 6 : 12, t we shall also have = 62 = 3xl2=36. QUEST. — 155. If the product of two quantities is equal to the product of two other quantities, may the four be placed in a proportion 1 How ? — 156. If three quantities are proportional,...

...Suppose we have ad = bc. Dividing both members by 6 and d, we have r = -, or a : b = c : d. Hence, oa If the product of two quantities is equal to the product of ttca other quantities, the two factors of either product may be made the means, and the two factors...

...the means in both cases is the same. So if na:b::x:y, then a : b : : x : ny. 339. On the other hand, if the product of two quantities is equal to the product of two others, the four quantities will form a proportion if they are so arranged, that those on one side of the equation...

...products, and each is divided by irf, ad be acc _ a that is, a : b::c : d, or c '. d:'.a '. b. Wherefore, if the product of two quantities is equal to the product of two others, the four quantities are convertible into a proportion of which the multiplicand and multiplier of either...

...other that A x D — B x C, we shall also have, — = — , -AO and hence, A : B : : C : D ; that is If the product of two quantities is equal to the product of two other quantities, two of them may be made the extremes, and the other two the means of a proportion....
