Answer:
Using the ratio given, we know that for every 5 colored pencils, there are 2 markers in each box.
Therefore:
The first blank represents the number of colored pencils in the box. Since the ratio of colored pencils to markers is 5 to 2, we can calculate that there are 5 colored pencils for every 2 markers. This means that for each box, there are 5/7 of the total number of items are colored pencils. So the missing value in the first row is 35.
The second row indicates that there are 20 items in the box. We know that the first row (colored pencils) has 35 items, and since the total number of items in the box is 20, the missing value in the second row (markers) is 20 - 35/7 = 15.
The third row represents the total number of colored pencils and markers in each box. We know that there are 35 colored pencils and 15 markers in each box, so the total number of items in each box is 50.
Therefore, the completed table would be:
