Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
50:1 ---> 50x L of gas, 1x L of oil
50x + 1x = 20
51x = 20
x = 20/51
-------------------------------------------------------
so you should mix 20/51 Liters of oil
20/51 is approximately 0.39215686
so you should have approximately 0.39215686 liters of oil
