Algebra.Com's Answer #694262 by josmiceli(19441)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Set up a ratio using the same units of measure \n" ); document.write( "for both the oil and the gasoline \n" ); document.write( "Use the conversion: \n" ); document.write( "16 ounces = 1 gallon \n" ); document.write( "--------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "The ratio looks like: \n" ); document.write( "[ ounces of oil ] / [ ounces of gasoline ] = \n" ); document.write( "[ ounces of oil ] / [ ounces of gasolinw ] \n" ); document.write( "Let \n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "5.83 ounces of oil are needed \n" ); document.write( "for 3.24 gallons of gasoline \n" ); document.write( "----------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "check the math\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
