Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios of the numbers shown in the table are all ...
y/x = 16/4 = 20/5 = 4
Then the missing y-value is ...
y = 4x
y = 4(2) = 8
__
And the missing x-value is ...
36 = 4x
36/4 = x = 9
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The x- and y-values in a "ratio table" are proportional to each other. That means the y corresponding to half an x-value will be half the y-value. In other words, the y for x=2 will be half the y for x=4, or 16/2 = 8.
Also, the values add. We notice that y=36 is the sum of y=16 and y=20. This means the corresponding x-value for y=36 will be the sum of x=4 and x=5, or x = 4+5 = 9.
