Answer:

9. x = $7.80

10. 440 miles

Explanation:

9. The relationship is proportional. Each taco costs $2.60/2 = $1.30. The cost of 6 tacos can be found by doubling the cost of 3 tacos:

x = 6-taco cost = 2 × 3-taco cost = 2 × $3.90

x = $7.80

10. Apparently, we're to assume that miles driven is proportional to gallons used. Then we can drive m miles on 20 gallons of gas, where ...

m/20 = 330/15

m = (20/15)(330) = (4/3)(330)

m = 440

440 miles can be driven on 20 gallons of gas.
