Re: 10 second questions
Hi ganesh;
I got those in post #4100
Sorry, but what does proportional mean?
I don't really get this!
Hi Denominator;
Did you google for them? Are you just stuck on mean and third and fourth proportional or more basic than that?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
I have the result, but I do not yet know how to get it.
All physicists, and a good many quite respectable mathematicians are contemptuous about proof.

Re: 10 second questions
Hi bobbym and Denominator,
The solutions #4255 and #4256 are correct, bobbym! Excellent!
#4257. If $782 is divided into three parts, proportional to 1/2 : 2/3 : 3/4, then the first part is __________________
#4258. If 76 is divided into four parts proportional to 7, 5, 3, 4, then the smallest part is _________________
