Step-by-step explanation:

The most accurate ratio of pounds to dollars will be found using the given numbers that have the most significant figures. Those are found on the last row of the table:

  pounds/dollar = 34.60/50 = 0.692

To find the other table values, multiply the dollar amounts by this constant of proportionality. The problem statement tells you to round the result to hundredths.

  $5 ⇒ 5.00 × 0.692 = 3.46 pounds

   $10 ⇒ 10.00 × 0.692 = 6.92 pounds

  $20 ⇒ 20.00 × 0.692 = 13.84 pounds

You can also fill in the table by recognizing that $5 is one tenth of $50, so the number of pounds will be one tenth of 34.60 = 3.46. Then each of the following rows doubles the amount on the previous row.
