Final answer:
To complete the ratio table, a consistent addition pattern of 194 is found, revealing the missing numbers as 97 and 679.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we'll need to determine a pattern or relationship between the numbers in the given ratio table. The numbers provided are 97, a blank, 291, another blank, and 485. When we examine these numbers, what we are looking for is a common factor or a consistent additive/multiplicative pattern.
Upon inspection, we can see that the difference between 291 and 97 is 194. If we apply the same difference to the next pair, we would expect the number after 291 to be 291 + 194 = 485, which is indeed the case. This suggests that the pattern is an addition of 194 to get to the next number in the series.
Therefore, to fill in the blanks, we need to subtract 194 from 291 to find the number that comes before it, and add 194 to 485 to find the number after it. This gives us:
First blank: 291 - 194 = 97
Second blank: 485 + 194 = 679
Write the final answer in 20 words: The missing numbers in the ratio table are 97 and 679.
