If Petrolyn oil is a combination of natural oil and synthetic oil-5 parts natural for evry 4 parts of synthetic oil.
How many liters of synthetic oil are contained in 468 liters of petrolyn oil?
:
:
Synthetic oil is 5/9 of the total
:
5%2F9 * 468 = 260 liters of syn oil in 468 liters
:
Check this; natural oil is 4/9 of the total
4%2F9 * 468 = 208 liter
:
Total: 208 + 260 = 468, confirms our solution of 260 liter of Syn oil
