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.

To fill in the missing values for the Caramel Delight drink that combine espresso and caramel syrup in a consistent ratio, we can analyze the given sizes you provided: _, 12, 20, 28, 40.
Let's start by trying to determine the ratios between the amounts of espresso and caramel syrup based on the existing values.
- For 12 ml: if we assume the missing espresso is "x," we could represent the ratio of espresso (E) to caramel syrup (C) as:
- E:C = x:12
- For 20 ml: we could suggest a similar framework:
- E:C = E₁:20
- For 28 ml:
- E:C = E₂:28
- For 40 ml:
- E:C = E₃:40
If we assume the ratio of espresso to caramel syrup remains constant, we can perform a bit of mathematical investigation to suggest a particular ratio. If we can observe the increments/ratios from the known values, we can deduce:
The jumps between the mentioned volumes could imply a linear relationship.
Let's assume that we succeed in determining that these ratios might increase at a consistent rate. If we examine that each increment increases by multiples, we can see the following pattern:
Now let's consider some sample values:
- Suppose if the first missing values is 8 ml (for espresso): 8 (E): 12 (C)
- The next pairing can be observed:
- 12: 20
- 20: 28
- 28: 40
As such we can fill the gaps with continuous increments of 4 for the second value. Following this logic could yield:
1. 8 ml
2. 12 ml
3. 16 ml
4. 20 ml (as listed)
5. 24 ml
6. 28 ml (as listed)
7. 32 ml
8. 40 ml
So putting this in a formatted list/sequence:
- **8 ml** (espresso): 12 ml (caramel)
- **16 ml** (espresso): 20 ml (caramel)
- **24 ml** (espresso): 28 ml (caramel)
- **32 ml** (espresso): 40 ml (caramel)
Using this steady growth approach we can fill in blank as needed.
Hence the final two missing values to complete the series are:
- 8 ml and 16 ml of espresso, filling the initial gaps correctly.
