Answer 1

To find out how many miles the car can travel using different amounts of gas, you can use the ratio provided: the car travels 30 miles per gallon.

You can calculate the number of miles traveled (m) using the formula:
\[ m = g \times 30 \]

Now let’s fill in the table for each given value of gallons (g):

- For 2 gallons:
\[ m = 2 \times 30 = 60 \]

- For 4 gallons:
\[ m = 4 \times 30 = 120 \]

- For 6 gallons:
\[ m = 6 \times 30 = 180 \]

- For 8 gallons:
\[ m = 8 \times 30 = 240 \]

Here’s the completed table:

| Number of gallons of gas (g) | Number of miles traveled (m) |
|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|
| 2 | 60 |
| 4 | 120 |
| 6 | 180 |
| 8 | 240 |
