Answer:
Your table is filled in below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor is the ratio of image size to original size. In part (d), the image height is "blocks" while the original height is "feet". So, the units of the scale factor are "blocks/ft".
Sometimes a scale factor has units, like this, and sometimes it is expressed as a pure number. A map scale factor might be the pure number ratio 1 : 62500, or it could also be expressed with units as 1 in : 1 mile.*

* actually, these are slightly different scales. 1:62500 is about 0.98643 inches per mile.
