    Found the missing table:

    Number of drawers: 2 3 4

    Total Volume (cubic inches) 5 7.5 10

    (7.5 - 5) / (3 - 2) = 2.5 / 1 = 2.5 this is the common ratio.

    number of drawers represented by d; total volume of drawers represented by V

    V = 2.5d

    17.5 = 2.5 d

    17.5 / 2.5 = d

    7 = d

    There will be 7 drawers in a jewelry box that has a total volume of 17.5 cubic inches.
