Explanation:

since a ratio is a fraction with all calculation and comparison rules (but with a special overall meaning), we need to observe the main rule for transforming fractions : when multiplying one part of the fraction by a factor, we also need to multiply the other part by the same factor to keep the value of the fraction unchanged.

the basic ratio is here

145/52 (or written 145:52 - it has the same meaning)

290/104 is just (145×2)/(52×2)

435/156 is just (145×3)/(52×3)

to complete the table we simply have to keep following that structure :

580 = 145×4

so, 52×4 = 208

and the ratio is

580/208

725 = 145×5

52×5 = 260

and the ratio is

725/260
