...B : A -B = 0+ D : C- D. Comparing this with the given proportion, we learn that In any proportion, the sum of the first two terms is to their difference...as the sum of the last two is to their difference. Apply this principle to the proportion 9:6 = 3:2, and test the result. 201. From two given proportions... | |
