Answer:
480 gallons.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that in a mixture of 240 gallons, the ratio of ethanol and gasoline is 3: 1, if the ratio is to be 1: 3, to find the quantity of gasoline that is to be added the following calculation must be performed:
240/4 x 3 = Ethanol
240/4 = Gasoline
180 = Ethanol
60 = Gasoline
0.25 = 180
1 = X
180 / 0.25 = X
720 = X
720 - 180 - 60 = X
480 = X
Therefore, 480 gallons of gasoline must be added if the ratio is to be 1: 3.
