Answer 1

Options are A, C and D

Here, we want to select the options that match the given ratio

We will consider the options one after the other

All we have to do here is to divide the number of miles by the number of gallons at each point in time

The ratio we have is 45 miles per 1 gallon

a) This is what we have exactly

b) Here, we have; 50 miles / 6 gallons = 25 miles / 3 gallons

It does not fit

c) 90 miles for 2 gallons;

90 miles / 2 gallons = 45 miles per gallon

d) 450 miles for 10 gallons

= 450 miles/ 10 gallons = 45 miles per gallon
