Question
Barista Mia is introducing a new drink called Caramel Delight at her coffee shop, which combines espresso and caramel syrup in a consistent ratio. Several cup sizes of the drink are listed on the menu, detailing the milliliters of espresso and milliliters of caramel syrup used. However, two values are missing from the menu. Fill in the two missing values in the table. Caramel Delight Milliliters of Espresso 6, 18, _, 42, 60 Milliliters of Caramel Syrup

To determine the missing value of milliliters of espresso in the Caramel Delight drink, we need to analyze the pattern of the espresso amounts provided: 6, 18, _, 42, 60.
1. **Identify the pattern**:
Let's look at the differences between the values we have:
- From 6 to 18: 18 - 6 = 12
- From 18 to the missing value (let's call it x): x - 18
- From the missing value (x) to 42: 42 - x
- From 42 to 60: 60 - 42 = 18
Now we can observe the following:
- The difference from 6 to 18 is 12.
- We want to find out what x is so that the differences justify a consistent pattern.
2. **Finding the common difference**:
The pattern suggests that the increment might be increasing:
- The difference from 6 to 18 is 12.
- The difference from 42 to 60 is 18.
- This implies that the increment might be increasing by a consistent value which could be the same amount added after each step.
The increments between the espresso measurements suggest a linear progression. We suspect a steady increase for each following number.
3. **Calculate the increment**:
Let's see if it forms a sequence:
- 6 (0 + 12)
- 18 (12 + 6)
- ? (18 + Δx)
- 42 (Δx + 24)
- 60 (18 + 18 = 60)
With this observation, we would seek to calculate:
- 6, 18 add 12 (next in line would be 30).
- Ensure testing \(x = 30\):
- 6 to 18 to 30 (adding 12 further),
- Next, 30 to 42 should again follow the increment;
- So the increments must be even (12, 12, 12) leading to \(42 = 30 + 12\).
Thus, we correctly found out that the **missing value is 30**.
4. **Filling the Table**:
Now, we can fill in the table with the required values:
- Milliliters of Espresso: 6, 18, 30, 42, 60.
In order to maintain a consistent ratio, if these espresso amounts are 6 ml, 18 ml, 30 ml, 42 ml, and 60 ml respectively, one can also assume that the syrup follows the same ratio leading to their own number values.
To find the milliliters of caramel syrup, take the known ratio constant with the syrup correspondence.
If we start with the known ratio (for instance, if there is a consistent ratio of 1:1, etc. leading each to be similarly proportioned) those will get referenced too.
For instance, if it were 1:2 (caramel to espresso):
That ratio means for every 1 ml of espresso you get 2ml of caramel. In this line, ratios may finalize correlation.
So, if we had caramel syrup amounts which steadily pee out on the same linear sequence, you would build on these progressively.
**Final Values Listed**
If constraining each, and maintaining proportionality:
- Milliliters of Caramel Syrup: 12, 36, 30, 84, and 120 (following the respective ratios).
Ultimately concluding:
- Espresso: 6, 18, 30, 42, 60
- Syrup proportional: adjusted ratio thereafter as assumed from noticeable experiments.
If you have more particulars about the syrup-to-coffee correlation ratio for the Caramel Delight you could further refine this syrup count.
