Answer:
897 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
The motor oil is composed of 8 liters of natural oil and 5 liters of synthetic oil. This means there is a ratio of 8/5. We have 552 liters of natural oil to y liters of synthetic. This is the ratio 552/y. Create a proportion that compares the two ratios.
[tex]\frac{8}{5}=\frac{552}{y}[/tex]
Solve by cross multiplying.
8y = 5(552)
8y = 2,760
y= 345
345 liters of synthetic oil.
Together 552+345= 897 liters of motor oil.
