Hello!

❖ The truck could travel 120 miles at that rate.

Divide t find the unit rate:

240 ÷ 30 = 8

Multiply to find how many miles in 15 gal:

15 x 8 = 120

(Note: In this problem, half of 30 is 15 and we have to find how many miles so just divide the amount of miles by 2. Note that this won't always work.)
