Using 8 and 13 as means, write any two proportions.
2:8 :: 13:52 and 4:8 :: 13:26
step 1
Find the product of Means
8 x 13 = 104
step 2
If 2 ratios are in proportion, the product of Extremes and product of Means should be equal
Product of Extremes = Product of Means
Product of Extremes = 8 x 13
Product of Extremes = 104
step 3
To find the Extremes, find the factors of 104
Factors of 104 = 2, 4, 52, 26
step 4
Write the possible pair of multiplication factors (Extremes) that makes 104
2 x 52 = 104
4 x 26 = 104
Either 2 & 52 or 4 & 26 are the the Extremes of this proportion
step 5
Apply the Extreme values in the proportion statement
Product of Extremes = Product of Means
2 x 52 = 8 x 13
or
4 x 26 = 8 x 13
or
step 6
Write the above expression in the fraction form
So,
2 x 52 = 8 x 13 can be written as
28
=
1352
similarly,
4 x 26 = 8 x 13 can be written as
48
=
1326
step 7
Write the above fractions in the ratio form
2:8 = 13:52
or
4:8 = 13:26
step 8
Therefore, the two proportions are
2:8 :: 13:52 & 4:8 :: 13:26

step 5
Apply the Extreme values in the proportion statement
Product of Extremes = Product of Means
4 x 42 = 8 x 21
or

Finding Extremes from Means of Proportion Worksheet

Find the extremes & write any two proportions by using means worksheet with answers for 6th grade math curriculum is available online for free in printable and downloadable (pdf & image) format. Tap on PRINT, PDF or IMAGE button to print or download this grade-6 ratio & proportion worksheet to practice how to find the extremes of the proportion by using means.

How to Use this Worksheet

In this sixth grade ratio & proportion worksheet, students are required to write any two proportions for the given means of ratios. In proportions, the product of means equals to product of extremes.
The product of extremes = The product of means

The antecedent of first ratio and consequent of second ratio is called as EXTREMES. Similarly, the consequent of first ratio and antecedent of second ratio is called as MEANS.

To find the extremes, find the product of means, find any two factors as extremes for the product of means and exchange the extremes and means to form the proportion.
