1. **State the problem:** We are given the relationship between the number of steps per minute $n$ and the pace length $P$ in metres for men as $$\frac{n}{P} = 140.$$ We need to fill in the missing values in the table using this formula.
2. **Formula and explanation:** The formula means that the ratio of the number of steps per minute to the pace length is always 140. So, for any given $n$ or $P$, we can find the missing value by rearranging the formula:
$$n = 140 \times P$$
or
$$P = \frac{n}{140}.$$
3. **Fill in the missing values:**
- For $n=70$, find $P$:
$$P = \frac{70}{140} = \frac{\cancel{70}}{\cancel{140}} = 0.5.$$
- For $P=0.6$, find $n$:
$$n = 140 \times 0.6 = 84.$$
4. **Complete table:**
| Number of paces per minute ($n$) | Pace length (metres) ($P$) |
|----------------------------------|----------------------------|
| 63 | 0.45 |
| 70 | 0.5 |
| 77 | 0.55 |
| 84 | 0.6 |
**Final answer:** The missing values are $P=0.5$ when $n=70$, and $n=84$ when $P=0.6$.
