Answer:

  • 18 baseball cards
  • 12 football cards

Explanation:

The only relationship shown in the table is in week 1, where the ratio of baseball to football cards is ...

baseball : football = 9 : 6

In week 1, the total of these numbers is 15. You want the total in week 5 to be 30, double the total in week 1. So, Thomas needs to purchase double the numbers he purchased in week 1:

  • 18 baseball cards
  • 12 football cards

This table came from another question you posted, a question with no content other than the table. The blue numbers are blanks in the original table that have been filled in so as to keep the same 3:2 proportion in each week. They appear to have no bearing on this question.
