To fill in the missing values, we need to understand the relationship between feet and inches. There are 12 inches in a foot.

Based on this:

  1. For 3 feet to inches: \[ 3 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches/foot} = 36 \text{ inches} \] So the missing value for 3 feet is 36.

  2. For the blank before 84 inches: \[ \frac{84 \text{ inches}}{12 \text{ inches/foot}} = 7 \text{ feet} \] So the missing value is 7.

The completed table is:

  • Feet: 2, 3, 4, 7
  • Inches: 24, 36, 48, 84

Thus, the missing values are:

  • For 3 feet: 36
  • For inches corresponding to 84: 7
