An engine runs on 0.1 quart of oil for every 3.5 quarts of gasoline. You make 3 quarts of the mixture. How much oil and gasoline do you use?
+23246 If you mix 0.1 quart of oil for every 3.5 quarts of gasoline, you total mixture will be 3.6 quarts.
The percentage of oil is 0.1 / 3.6 = 0.0277777...
The percentage of gasoline is 3.5 / 3.6 = 0.9722222 ...
If there are 3 quarts of the mixture,
the amount of oil is 3 x 0.277777 = 0.0833333 quarts
the amount of gasoline is 3 x 0.972222 = 2.9166667 quarts.

Hello Guest!
\(x\cdot(3.5+0.1)=1\)
\(x=\frac{1}{3.5+0.1}=\color{blue}\frac{1}{3.6}\)
\(\frac{1}{3.6}\cdot(3.5+0.1)=\\ 0,97\overline 2+0,02\overline7=1\\ \times 3=\\ \color{blue}\ 2.91\overline6+0.08\overline3=3\)
