To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion. Let "x" represent the amount of oil needed for 8 gallons of gas.
For the given mixture, we know that 5 gallons of gas corresponds to 2 gallons of oil.
So, the proportion can be set up as:
5 gallons of gas / 2 gallons of oil = 8 gallons of gas / x gallons of oil
Cross-multiplying, we get:
5 * x = 2 * 8
5x = 16
x = 16/5
Therefore, Randi will need 16/5 gallons of oil for 8 gallons of gas.
In tenths, this can be written as 3.2 gallons of oil.
