Answer

Problem

Find the fourth proportion to 4 , 6 and 8.

Step

Let us take the third proportion is

\$x\$

Step

We can write the above numbers in the proportional form
(a : b :: c : d)

\$4 : 6::8 : x \$

Hint

\$a/b::c/d\$

Step

Here a = 4 , b = 6 , c = 8 & d = x

Step

Let us find the x value

x = \$ (6 \times 8)/4\$

x = \$12\$

SumUp

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

Choice.A

21 is wrong; it doesn’t follow the proportional relationship between the terms

Choice.B

The proportional relationship between the terms shows that 22 is incorrect

Choice.C

23 is incorrect because it does not match the correct calculation of the fourth proportion

Choice.D

Correct fourth proportion calculation result
