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.
