Which numbers are the extremes of the proportion shown below?

[tex]\[
\frac{4}{7}=\frac{20}{35}
\][/tex]

A. 7 and 20
B. 4 and 20
C. 4 and 35
D. 7 and 35



Answer :

To determine the extremes of the given proportion:

[tex]\[ \frac{4}{7} = \frac{20}{35} \][/tex]

we need to identify the numbers that are positioned diagonally from each other when we set the two fractions equal to each other.

The extremes in the proportion [tex]\(\frac{4}{7} = \frac{20}{35}\)[/tex] are:
- The first term of the first fraction (the numerator of the first fraction), which is 4.
- The second term of the second fraction (the denominator of the second fraction), which is 35.

Thus, the extremes are the numbers 4 and 35. Hence, the correct answer is:

C. 4 and 35
