Petrolyn motor oil is a combination of natural oil and synthetic oil. It contains 5 liters of natural oil for every 8 liters of synthetic oil. In order to make 884liters of Petrolyn oil, how many liters of natural oil are needed?

9514 1404 393

  340

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of natural to synthetic is give as ...

  5 : 8

Then the ratio of natural to total would be ...

  5 : (5+8) = 5 : 13

The amount of natural oil in 884 total liters of oil will be ...

  (5/13)(884 L) = 340 L

884 liters of Petrolyn oil will contain 340 liters of natural oil.

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
