Answer:
- to add to the table, continue the arithmetic sequence in each column
- to use the table, extend the third column to 45, or multiply the first row by 9
Explanation:
The numbers in the first column are an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 2. The next few numbers will be 6, 8, 10, ...
The numbers in the second column are an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 3. The next few numbers will be 9, 12, 15, ...
The numbers in the third column are an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 5. The next few numbers will be 15, 20, 25, ...
To use the table, Mark can extend each sequence until he has a row with 45 in the third column, or he can multiply or add rows to give a result of 45 in the third column. For example, multiplying the first row by 9 gives 18:27:45 meaning that Mark needs 18 liters of blue and 27 liters of yellow to make 45 liters of green paint.
