To find the number that fills the blank, we need to determine the pattern in the ratios given. Looking at the first ratio of punch to lemon-lime (5:2), we can see that the ratio is obtained by multiplying the punch by 2.5.
Applying the same pattern to the second ratio (15:6), we get a multiplier of 2.5 as well.
Therefore, we can assume that the pattern continues and the multiplier for the third ratio would also be 2.5.
Using this multiplier, we can find the number that fills the blank:
35 * 2.5 = 87.5
So, the number that fills the blank is 87.5.
The table shows the ratios of punch and lemon-lime used to make a drink. What number fills the blanks(1 point)
Punch 5 15 35 50
Lemon-Lime 2 6 (Blank) 20
