To determine how far the car will travel on 30 gallons of gas, we first need to find the car's mileage per gallon.
The car travels 450 miles on 20 gallons of gas, so the mileage per gallon is:
\[
\text{Mileage per gallon} = \frac{\text{Total miles}}{\text{Total gallons}} = \frac{450 \text{ miles}}{20 \text{ gallons}} = 22.5 \text{ miles per gallon}
\]
Now, to find out how far the car will travel on 30 gallons, we can multiply the mileage per gallon by the number of gallons:
\[
\text{Distance on 30 gallons} = \text{Mileage per gallon} \times \text{Number of gallons} = 22.5 \text{ miles per gallon} \times 30 \text{ gallons} = 675 \text{ miles}
\]
Therefore, the car will travel **675 miles** on 30 gallons of gas. The correct answer is:
