    4 ounces

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that every mixture of gravy must contain 8% olive oil and 92% of water, and we are given 46 ounces of water.

    therefore if

    92% = 46 ounces

    8% = x ounces

    where x is the mass of olive oil in ounces to be added to water to form the mixture.

    when we cross multiplying we will have

    92 * x = 8 * 46

    92x = 368

    dividing both side by 92

    x = 368/92 = 4 ounces
