To find the values of A and B that complete the tables based on the given ratios, we first need to analyze the ratios 5:9 and 2:3.

First, let's consider the table for the ratio 5:9:

  • If we have 5, then 9 corresponds to a ratio factor of \( k = \frac{9}{5} \).
  • For the values we see:
    • If \( 5 \rightarrow 9 \) aligns with \( 10 \rightarrow 18 \) then \( 15 \rightarrow 27 \) follows that same multiplication factor.

To find A and B based on a consistent ratio:

  1. For \( 5 \) corresponds to \( 9 \):
    • \( \frac{5}{9} \)

Now looking at when \( A \) comes up as the corresponding element:

  • If \( 2 \rightarrow 3 \) corresponds to \( 4 \rightarrow 6 \):
    • Thus, we can deduce \( 8 \rightarrow B \). The value of A should hold the ratio with respect to either 5:9 or 2:3.

Now completing the ratios from the respective relationships based on their proportional growth:

Completing the tables:

  • For 5:9

    • If we start from \( 5 \rightarrow 9 \)
    • \( 10 \rightarrow 18 \)
    • \( 15 \rightarrow 27 \)
    • We must find A such that \( ? \rightarrow B \).
  • The number must complete an equivalent proportion when we use the same multiplication factor.

Finding values for A and B:

From 2:3:

  • The general relationship has \( \frac{2}{3} \)
  • If aligned for 8 in sequence of the proportion:
    • \( 8 \rightrightarrow Y \)

Now, simplify solving the assumption:

Using the consistent multiplicative integrities:

  • If we cross-multiply per given ratio format:
  • Have scenario style \( \frac{A}{B} = \frac{2}{3} => A = 2k , B = 3k \)

Followed by:

  • To identify A:
    • Relating where 8 belongs in this system retains
    • Hence can proportion out \( B \) yields alignment.

Using:

  1. \( A = 8 \)
  2. Where establishing consistent checking finds via inspection:
  3. B determines here from 3y where each would yield per growth:
    • Fix historical find with values cross of type confirms.

Conclusion:

  • Thus A = 8 and B resolves into A=8, B=12
  • Hence the correct fill-ins would confirm as:
  • Responses: A = 8 and B = 12.

Final values:

  • A = 8
  • B = 12
