B

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent value is the number of gallons of gas and the dependent value is the distance traveled, because the distance traveled is affected by how much gas is in the tank.

It is also 250 to 300, because 10 and 12 (numbers of how many gallons of gas are in the tank) multiplied by 25 (miles traveled on one can of gas) equals 250 and 300.

B

Step-by-step explanation:

10 x 25 = 250 miles plus 2 more gallons 2x25=50 so 250 miles plus an extra 50 miles (300 total)
