To find the distance Robert's truck can travel on 10 gallons of gas, we can use proportion.

Distance / Gas = Distance / Gas

We know that the distance Robert's truck can travel on 2 gallons of gas is 74.5 miles, so we can plug that in:

74.5 / 2 = Distance / 10

Solving for Distance:

Distance = 74.5 / 2 * 10 = 372.5

Therefore, the distance that Robert's truck can travel on 10 gallons of gas is 372.5 miles. Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the answer is C) 372.50 miles.
