Answer:

  Miles: 35; Gallons: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of gallons can be any number of your choosing that is less than 12, which is the capacity of the tank. For the purpose here, 1 is a convenient number. To find the corresponding number of miles (m), you need to solve the proportion ...

  420/12 = m/1

  35 = m

  (miles, gallons) = (35, 1) . . . a suitable choice for the table values

Additional comment

If your sense of symmetry is offended by choosing 1 for Gallons, you can choose 10, a number halfway between 12 and 8. In that case, your proportion is ...

  420/12 = m/10   ⇒   m = 350

Then, your entry would be ...

 (miles, gallons) = (350, 10)
