Explanation:

In a proportion \(a:b = c:d\), the means are \(b\) and \(c\), and the extremes are \(a\) and \(d\). The rule for solving proportions is that the product of the means (\(b\times c\)) is equal to the product of the extremes (\(a\times d\)).

Answer:

The product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes.
