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)
<u>We should add 1.2 fluid ounces of oil </u>
