Answer:

14:7, 42:21, 6:3, 48:24

Explanation:

The ratio can be seen as 2:1 (from the provided 14:7 which is equal to 2), which would be in plums:grapes.

Your ratio of 42:21 is correct for the second column, so we can move on to the third and fourth.

We can use this equation to find your missing values for column 3:


(14)/(7) =
(x)/(3)

Now, we can solve for x through cross multiplication:

7x = 14*3

7x = 42

x = 6

For column 4, we can set up the equation:


(14)/(7) =
(x)/(24)

Now, let's solve for x:

7x = 336

x = 48

Therefore, your ratios will be:

14:7, 42:21, 6:3, 48:24.
