1. The problem states that Tlaloc pumped up 56 balls in total, with a ratio of 5 dodge balls for every 9 other balls.
2. The original ratio is dodge balls : other balls = 5 : 9.
3. The total parts in the ratio are $5 + 9 = 14$ parts.
4. We know the total number of balls pumped up is 56, which corresponds to 14 parts.
5. To find the number of balls per part, divide total balls by total parts:
$$\text{balls per part} = \frac{56}{14} = 4$$
6. Number of dodge balls pumped up:
$$5 \times 4 = 20$$
7. Number of other balls pumped up:
$$9 \times 4 = 36$$
8. Check total balls:
$$20 + 36 = 56$$ which matches the total given.
9. The completed table is:
| Original ratio | Number Tlaloc pumped up |
|---|---|
| Dodge balls | 5 | 20 |
| Other balls | 9 | 36 |
| Total balls | 14 | 56 |
