This is a proportion ratio table.
This proportion ratio table can be solved using the factor puzzle shown above. You
can use the factor puzzle to find a number later on in the proportion table. If I
wanted to find 56 later in the puzzle I would put the above numbers in the factor
puzzle. You would solve this like a normal factor puzzle and the top and bottom
numbers would be your basic ratio and you have to find what the question mark
equals to get the missing number that goes with the ratio 56. Look at the problem
above the factor puzzle for the problem. The answer would be 35 and the basic
ratio would be 7:1.
