Answer:

40

Explanation:

6 B D
10 25 35
A C 56

First, find a common ratio between the two parts. Since we have a complete middle part and are trying to find C from the third part, we will use 35 and 56 ( two known values from the same column)
35:56 simplifies to 5:8 -- that will be our common ratio between the middle and the third part.

Now, we solve using the ratio.

25=(5/8)C

C=25(8/5)

C=40
