Let u make the first box x and the second box y.

If there is a proportional relationship between the number of bananas and their weights, it means that:


(2)/(x)=(6)/(0.72)=(15)/(y)

We can take the first pair and solve for x as follows:


\begin{gathered} (2)/(x)=(6)/(0.72) \\ 6x=2*0.72=1.44 \\ x=(1.44)/(6) \\ x=0.24 \end{gathered}

We can solve for y in the same manner:


\begin{gathered} (6)/(0.72)=(15)/(y) \\ 6y=15*0.72=10.8 \\ y=(10.8)/(6) \\ y=1.8 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the boxes are filled as shown below:
