Question

Maralah can drive her car 580 miles at a steady speed is in 20 gallons of gasoline. Make a rate table to show the number of miles she can drive her car for one, two, three, make a rate table to show the number of miles she can drive her car for 1,2,3,..., and 10 gallons of gas.

Answer 1

The table would be 29 over 1, 58 over 2, 87 over 3, and 290 over 10. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Total distance traveled in 20 gallons of gasoline = 580 miles

Total distance traveled in 1 gallon of gasoline =
`580/ 20`

= 29 miles

Now, we have to calculate the number of miles Maralah can drive in 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ans 10 gallons of gasoline.

Since, number of miles traveled in 1 gallon of gasoline = 29 miles

Number of miles traveled in 2 gallons of gasoline =
`29 * 2` = 58 miles.

In the similar way, we will make a table which shows the number of miles she can drive her car for 1,2...10 gallons of gasoline.

Refer to the table in attached image.
