Use proportions to find the values that must be in the blanks.

For the first blank, 2 is to 5 as the value is to 10:


\begin{gathered} (2)/(5)=(x)/(10) \\ x=(2)/(5)\cdot10 \\ x=4 \end{gathered}

The first blank must be filled with 4.

For the second blank, 2 is to 5 as 6 is to the value:


\begin{gathered} (2)/(5)=(6)/(x) \\ x=6\cdot(5)/(2) \\ x=15 \end{gathered}

The second blank must be filled with 15.

For the last blank, 2 is to 5 as the value is to 25:


\begin{gathered} (2)/(5)=(x)/(25) \\ x=(2)/(5)\cdot25 \\ x=10 \end{gathered}

The last blank must be filled with 10
