The table illustrates the relationship between the number of gallons and the corresponding distance traveled, determined by a consistent ratio of 1 gallon per 8 miles.
The given ratio, 1/8, represents the relationship between the number of gallons and the distance traveled. To complete the table, you can use this ratio to find the missing values. Here's how you can calculate each entry:
Number of Gallons: 4
Multiply 4 by the ratio (8): 4 * 8 = 32.
Therefore, the corresponding distance is 32 miles.
Number of Gallons: 7
Multiply 7 by the ratio (8): 7 * 8 = 56.
The distance for 7 gallons is 56 miles.
Number of Gallons: 10
Multiply 10 by the ratio (8): 10 * 8 = 80.
The distance for 10 gallons is 80 miles.
Number of Gallons: 13
Multiply 13 by the ratio (8): 13 * 8 = 104.
The distance for 13 gallons is 104 miles.
Number of Gallons: 16
Multiply 16 by the ratio (8): 16 * 8 = 128.
The distance for 16 gallons is 128 miles.
The completed table is as follows:
Number of gallons Distance (miles)
4 32
7 56
10 80
13 104
16 128
