Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

120 miles / 5 gallons of gas = 24 miles per gallon

1. How many gallons of  gas does the car use if it travels 600 miles?

Equation: 600=24x     (600 representing miles, 24 miles per gallon)

                600=24x

                 24    24     (cancel out 24 from the right side of equation)

                 x = 25 gallons

2.  How far can the car travel if it uses 30 gallons of gas?

30 gallons x 24 miles per gallon = 720 miles

3. Ratios:

0 gallons : 0 miles  (0,0)

1 gallons : 24 miles  (1,24)

2 gallons : 48 miles  (2,48)

So on so forth...
The car will use 25 gallons of gas. My handwriting is not the neatest
