<p>In order to solve proportions using cross multiplication, the calculator uses a simple method. If you have a proportion in the form of a/b = c/d, you can find the unknown by cross multiplying. a/b = c/d implies a * d = b * c Therefore, if one of the terms (a, b, c, or d) is unknown, you can solve for it using the<a>equation</a>: a * d = b * c.</p>
