The fuel for a chain saw is a mix of oil and gasoline. the label says to mix 6 ounces of oil with 16 gallons of gasoline. how much oil would you use if you had 32 gallons of gasoline

The answer is 12 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the answer, we have to know about directly proportional.

A directly proportional is when two variables are increased at the same time. Both variables have a relation, expressed by a fraction. The fraction is called "constant of proportionality".

In this case, we have:

We always have to fulfil this relation.

Thus, for x: ounces of oil for 32 gallons of gasoline.

Finally, the amount of oil for 32 gallons of gasoline is 12 ounces.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
