Two-cycle enginges, used in snowmobiles, chain saws, and outboard motors, require a mixture of gasoline and oil. For certain engines the amount of oil in pints that should be added to x gallons of gasoline is computed by f(x) = 0.16x
I got the answer to b as
b) Evaluate f(3)
f(3) = 0.16(3)
=.48

c. how much gasoline should be mixed with 1 quart of oil?
amount of oil = 0.16(amount of gasoline)
There are 2 pints in a quart.
2=0.16(amount of gas)
amount of gas = 2/0.16
amount of gaw = 12.5 gallons
