John is driving his motorhome. It uses 2 gallons of gas for every 16 miles he travels. Complete the table below showing the number of gallons used and the distance traveled.

Problem
Solution
For this case we see that the constant between distance and gallons is 16/2= 8
2/ 16 = x/24
x= 24 (2/16) = 3
2/16 = 5/y
y= 5*16/2 = 40
2/16 = x/72
x= 72 (2/16)= 9
2/16 = 10/y
y= 10*16/2 = 80
And the table would be:
Gallons 2 3 5 9 10
Distance 16 24 40 72 80
