-pint cans. How much gas do you need to add to
2 pints of oil for a 1:30
oil to gas mixture?

Answer 1

60 pints of gas are needed to mix with 2 pints of oil for a 1:30 oil to gas mixture

Explanation:

Answer 2

60 pints of gas are needed to mix with 2 pints of oil for a 1:30 oil to gas mixture

Explanation:

For a 1:30 oil to gas mixture, we need 30 parts of gas for every 1 part of oil.

Let's use algebra to solve for the amount of gas needed to mix with 2 pints of oil:

Let x be the amount of gas needed in pints.

Then we can write the equation:

30/1 = x/2

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

30 * 2 = 1 * x

x = 60/1

x = 60 pints of gas

Therefore, 60 pints of gas are needed to mix with 2 pints of oil for a 1:30 oil to gas mixture.
