joel ca drive his car 450 miles at a steady speed using 15 gallons of gasoline. make a rate table showing the number of miles his car can be driven at this speed. show 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 gallons of gas
Since his speed is maintained, we can remove it from consideration. We need to know the equivalent of 1 gallon to the number of miles he has to travel.
450mile ÷ 15 gallons = 30 miles per gallon
We can use this formula to know the total number of miles traveled based on the number of gallons of gasoline placed.
y = 30(x) y = total number of miles traveled, x = gallons of gasoline used
y = 30(1) = 30 mi y = 30(2) = 60 mi y = 30(3) = 90 mi y = 30(4) = 120 mi y = 30(5) = 150 mi y = 30(6) = 180 mi y = 30(7) = 210 mi y = 30(8) = 240 mi y = 30(9) = 270 mi y = 30(10) = 300 mi
