put up ratio
recommended ratio , gasoline/oil = 50/1
required ratio, gasoline/oil = 24/x
50/1 = 24/x
crossmultiply
50x = 24
x = 24/50
= 12/25 = 0.48
for 24 gallons of gas 0.48 gal oil should me mixed

Just a simple equation to solve that one.
50/1 = 24/x
50X = 24
X = 24/50
X = .48 gallons

Let x = no. of gallons of oil
Ratio:
24:x = 50:1
Equation:
50x = 24
x = 24/50
x = 12/25
x = 0.48
Answer: 12/25 or 0.48 gallon
