Answer:

2.5 liters of gas is used with per liter of oil

Explanation:

Max is missing oil and gas for his moped.

Amount of gas used = 3.75 liters

Amount of oil required = 1.5 liters

Ratio in which gas and oil are mixed =
(3.75)/(1.5)

=
(2.5)/(1)

That means if he uses 1 liter of oil then the gas required for the mixture = 2.5 liters

Therefore, 2.5 liters of gas is used per liter of oil.
