Verified Answer :

Step-by-step explanation:

When two ratios are same then they are called proportion. A proportion can be written as follows.    

                     p : q : : r : s

or,              \(\frac{p}{q} = \frac{r}{s}\)

In the proportion given above, the values p and s are called extremes. Whereas values q and r are called mean.

Thus, in the proportion \(\frac{5}{6} = \frac{10}{12}\), the means will be 6 and 10.

Hence, we can conclude that the given statement is true.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

In a proportion, you have the extremes (the lowest and highest value) and the means (the betweenness).  

5 is the lowest extreme, whereas 12 is the highest extreme.

Therefore, 6 and 10 are the means, the in-between values.

Hope this helps.
