ANSWER

6

Step-by-step explanation

We have the ratio table given.

Let the missing number be x.

From the table, we see that the ratio is:

3 : 15 = x : 30 = 18 : 90 = 24 : 120

So, we can pick one group of ratio to compare with the group of the missing number.

That is:


\begin{gathered} 3\text{ : 15 = x : 30} \\ \Rightarrow\text{ }(3)/(15)\text{ = }(x)/(30) \\ \text{Cross}-\text{ multiply:} \\ 15\cdot\text{ x = 3 }\cdot\text{ 30} \\ 15x\text{ = 90} \\ x\text{ = }(90)/(15)\text{ = 6} \end{gathered}

So, the missing number is 6.
