The terms that are called means are 2 and 36

Solution:

A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal

Proportion is written as:

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$

In ratios, we can write as,

a : b = c : d

To find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}\\\\a \times d = b \times c$

Here, a and d are extremes

b and c are means

In the given proportion,

$\frac{12}{36} = \frac{2}{6}$

$12 \times 6 = 2 \times 36$

Here, 12 and 6 are extremes

2 and 36 are means
