Answer:

8.1 gallons of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

240/9=216/x

simplify 240/9 into 80/3,

80/3=216/x

cross product

3*216=80*x

648=80x

x=648/80

x=8.1

To find the amount of miles/gallon, we have 540 miles/18 gallons=30 miles/gallon. As we add 30 miles for every gallon, the amount of miles traveled is 30*x (e.g. if x is 1 then 0+30=30 and if x is 2 then 30+30 (2 times)=60) with x being the amount of gallons. For b, we just plug 12 in for x to get 20*12=360
