Solution

Question 1:

Step 1: First, we need to find out how many gallons of gasoline are needed to travel 300 miles. Since the car uses 1 gallon for every 20 miles, we divide 300 by 20.

300 miles ÷ 20 miles/gallon = 15 gallons

Step 2: Next, we multiply the number of gallons by the cost per gallon to find the total cost.

15 gallons × 2.75/gallon=2.75/gallon = 41.25

So, the correct answer is D, $41.25.

Question 2:

Step 1: First, we need to find out how many gallons of gasoline can be bought with 30.Sinceeachgalloncosts30. Since each gallon costs 2.50, we divide 30by30 by 2.50.

30÷30 ÷ 2.50/gallon = 12 gallons

Step 2: Next, we multiply the number of gallons by the number of miles per gallon to find the total miles that can be traveled.

12 gallons × 20 miles/gallon = 240 miles

So, the correct answer is C, 240 miles.
