    120 dollars

    Step-by-step explanation:

    6 hours per day, for 2 days, leads to a total of 12 hours (2*6 = 12)

    If it takes 2 gallons of gas to run the boat for 1 hour, then it will take 24 gallons to run for 12 hours. We can see this if we have the ratio below

    2 gallons: 1 hour

    12 * (2 gallons) : 12 * (1 hour) ... multiply both sides by 12

    24 gallons: 12 hours

    Now multiply this gallon count (24) by the cost per gallon ($5) and we get to 5*24 = 120
