Explanation:

Step1: Define variables

Let $c$ = number of cucumbers, $t$ = number of tomatoes.

Step2: Set up equations

We know $t = 4c$ and $t + c = 25$.

Step3: Substitute and solve for $c$

Substitute $t=4c$ into total:
$4c + c = 25$
$5c = 25$
$c = \frac{25}{5} = 5$

Step4: Solve for $t$

$t = 4c = 4 \times 5 = 20$

Step5: Fill the diagram

Assign 20 to tomatoes, 5 to cucumbers.
