Respuesta :

Explanation:

We have the gasoline/oil ratio 50:1, which means that for each 50 units of gasoline we have to add 1 unit of oil.

If we have 10 gallons of gasoline we need:

[tex]\frac{10}{50}=0.2[/tex]

0.2 gallons of oil. In fluid ounces:

[tex]0.2\times128=25.6[/tex]

25.6 fl oz, rounded to the nearest whole ounce that's 26 fl oz

Answer:

26 fluid ounces
