With the Free Online Proportion Calculator, you can easily apply the rule of three and solve proportions or anti-proportions.
The rule of three, also known as the "proportionality rule," is a mathematical method used to calculate an unknown fourth value from three given values in a ratio or relationship.
In a proportional relationship, the rule "The more, the more" or "The less, the less" always applies. For example, if you burn 300 kilocalories in one hour of exercise, you will burn 600 kilocalories in two hours.
Conversely, in an anti proportional relationship, the rule 'The more, the less' or 'The less, the more' applies. For instance, if 12 excavators take 6 days to dig a pit, 2 excavators will require 36 days.
