This proportion reference table shows the x (where a/b = c/x) for a range of a values, assuming a b of 3 and a c of 8. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Proportion Calculator, so the numbers are exact.

How to use this table
Find the row closest to your a and read across to the x (where a/b = c/x). For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Proportion Calculator for a precise answer.
