we know it takes 20lbs of Olive to make 3 liters of oil, we also know that the orchard for a whole year gets 3000 lbs, how much oil is there in those 3000 lbs for the year?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{olive}{lbs}&\stackrel{olive~oil}{liters}\\ \cline{1-2} 20&3\\ 3000&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{20}{3000}=\cfrac{3}{x}\implies \cfrac{1}{150}=\cfrac{3}{x}\implies x= 450
