In this problem, we use the method of ratio and proportion. This technique works by using the concept that there is a fixed ratio of compositions within a mixture. Speaking generally, there is a fixed ratio of the parts of the whole. So, all we have to do is equate both ratios.
5 L natural oil/ 6 L synthetic oil = x L natural oil/498 L synthetic oil
x = 415 L natural oil
So, if petrol oil contains 498 L synthetic oil, it has a corresponding amount of 415 natural oil. Adding these two would be the total volume of the petrol oil. That would be 415+498 = 913 L petrol oil.
The question does not seem complete, but I'll represent the statement mathematically and look for their ages each. This is because the worst they can ask for is their ages.
Let C stand for Courtney's age, A for Andrei's age, N for Natalie's age and S for Shari's age. From the question we can deduce the following:
C = 2A
C = N + 3
C = S/2
S - N = C + A
S = 2C, N = C - 3 and A = C/2, therefore we have
2C - (C - 3) = C + C/2
C + 3 = C + C/2
C/2 = 3 and C = 6
A = C/2
A= 6/2
A = 3
N = C - 3
N = 6 - 3
N = 3
S = 2C
S = 2 x 6
S = 12.
C = 6, A = 3, N = 3 and S = 12
