Okay, I have a quick question. Are we supposed to look at this from a calculus perspective? Your name confuses me.

The relationship between the number of miles and each corresponding number of gallons is that you should multiply the number of gallons by 30 to get the number of miles.

The number of miles a car can travel is "directly proportional" to the gallons of gas it uses.

mertsj · Answer

The unit rate is 30 miles per gallon

calculusxy · Answer

Yes. So for question 5 is it like writing the unit rate?

Fr question 5 I put: A car can travel 30 miles per 1 gallon of gas. Am I correct?

That's a question that a teacher will most likely accept a variety of answers. There are different ways of putting that into words. That'll probably get you a check for correct.
