Answer:
The correct table is:

Minutes (m) | Number of Bags
---------------------------
1 | 27
2 | 54
3 | 81
4 | 108
5 | 135

Explanation:
Since the machine makes 54 bags in 2 minutes, it makes 27 bags in 1 minute. Therefore, over a 5-minute period, it will make 5 times as many bags as it does in 1 minute, which is 5 * 27 = 135 bags.
