A motorcycle consumes 5 gallons of gas for 300 miles and 7 gallons for 420 miles.

<h3>What is rate of change?</h3>

Rate of change is defined as the change in value with rest to the time is called rate of change.

Now,

Rate of change = Difference B/w volume (i.e. in gallons) /difference in miles
= 420-300/7-2
= 60 gallons/mile

Thus, The required rate of change per gallon of gas is 60 miles per gallon.
