Answer:

$120 in the ratio3:5

sum of ratios = 8

part1: 3/8*120=$45

part2 : 5/8*120=$75

The fuel for a machine is a mixture of 8 parts petrol to one part oil.

How much oil is needed to make 1 litre of fuel?

ratio : 8:1

sum of ratios = 9

oil does it take to make 1 liter of fuel : 1/9*1=1/9 L of oil≈0,11111L≈111,11mililiter oil
