Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Ratio = 2.4 fl. oz. of oil for every gallon of gasoline

Amount of gas you have = 2 quarts

2. How much oil should you add?

Let's recall that 1 liquid gallon = 4 liquid quarts, therefore:

Ratio = 2.4 fluid ounces of oil for every 4 quarts of gasoline

Replacing the with the real amount of gas we have:

Ratio = 1.2 fluid ounces of oil for every 2 quarts of gasoline )dividing by 2 the oil amount and the gas amount)

We should add 1.2 fluid ounces of oil
