A leaf blower runs on a mixture of oil and gas. The ratio is 40 to 1. How many ounces of gas does the leaf blower need for 4 ounces oil?

160 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

However, I personally think this does not make sense. A leaf blower should take more gas than oil, right? For this reason, I will provide an additional answer.

If the ratio of gas to oil is 40:1, then you would multiply by 4 to get 4 oz oil and 160 oz gas.

Alternate answer:

If the ratio of oil to gas is 40:1, then you divide by 10 on both sides to get 4 oz oil and. 1 oz gas.

Alt answer:.1 oz

160

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to multiply the ounces of gas by 4 like you did to the oil.
