EXTREMES
The two outer terms of a proportion are known as extremes. These are the limits of a range of possibilities.
The numerator of the second ratio and the denominator of the first ratio are called the means, and the numerator of the first ratio and the denominator of the second ratio are called the extremes. The product of the means equals the product of the extremes.

There are no extremes.

this is the outermost terms this is ''extremes''
The first and last terms of a proportion are called the "extremes." In a proportion expressed as ( a:b = c:d ), ( a ) and ( d ) are the extremes, while ( b ) and ( c ) are referred to as the "means." This terminology helps in understanding relationships between the terms in a proportion.
The two outer terms of a proportion are known as extremes. These are the limits of a range of possibilities.
In a proportion, the means are the middle terms, and the extremes are the outer terms. Given the means are 6 and 18, and the extremes are 9 and 12, the proportion can be expressed as ( \frac{9}{12} = \frac{6}{18} ). Simplifying both sides, ( \frac{9}{12} ) reduces to ( \frac{3}{4} ), and ( \frac{6}{18} ) reduces to ( \frac{1}{3} ), indicating that these values do not form a valid proportion.
meansThe two outside one are the extremes.
The two outer terms of a proportion are the first term on the left-hand side and the last term on the right-hand side. These terms are usually compared to determine if they are in the same relationship as the two inner terms.
6/9 = 10/15
Actually, the terms located in the middle of a proportion are called the means. The first and fourth terms are the extremes.
