Question

complete the ratio table.
79 \t47
158 \t94
\t141
\t188
395 \t235

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio

First, check the ratio between the first two numbers. $\frac{79}{47}$? Wait, no, let's check the second row: $\frac{158}{94} = 2$, and $\frac{395}{235} = \frac{395\div5}{235\div5} = \frac{79}{47}$? Wait, no, 158 is 792, 94 is 472. 395 is 795, 235 is 475. So the ratio of the first column to the second column is $\frac{79}{47}$? Wait, no, actually, the first number 79 and 47: 791 =79, 471=47; 792=158, 472=94; 793=237, 473=141; 794=316, 474=188; 795=395, 475=235. Ah, that's the pattern! So the first column is 79 multiplied by n, and the second column is 47 multiplied by n, where n is 1,2,3,4,5.

Step2: Find the third row first number

For the third row, n=3. So first number: 79*3 = 237.

Step3: Find the fourth row first number

For the fourth row, n=4. So first number: 79*4 = 316.

Answer:

The third row first number is 237, the fourth row first number is 316. So the completed table (the two blanks) are 237 and 316.
