• because the cross sums of the proportion are equal

• because the cross differences of the proportion are equal

• because the cross products of the proportion are equal

• because the cross quotients of the proportion are equal

• because 192 divided by 32 is equal to 6

• because 192 divided by 36 is equal to 6

• because if you substitute 6 into the equation for x and cross multiply, you get 1,152= 1,152

• because if you substitute 6 into the equation for x and cross multiply, you get 1296 = 1296
