The third proportional of 16 and 24 will be ______.
36
The correct answer is 36.
For instance, 16:24 is proportional to 32:48 because 16/24 = 2/3 and 32/48 = 2/3. The concept of the third proportional is a special case of proportion where the middle terms are identical. This leads to the relationship b^2 = ac in a continued proportion a:b = b:c. Solving problems involving proportions often involves using the cross-multiplication property (ad=bc) to find an unknown term.
