<PRE><B>Question 509540</B>
The worlds largest taco contained approximately 1 kg of onion for every 6.6 kg of grilled steak. The total weight of these two ingredients was 617.6 kg. To the nearest tenth of a kilogram, how many kilograms of each ingredient were used to make the taco? 
----------------
1 kg of onion for every 6.6 kg of grilled steak is
a ratio of 1:6.6
---
1:6.6 is the same as x:6.6x where x is the onion weight.
----
Equation:
x + 6.6x = 617.6
7.6x = 617.6
x = 81.26 kg (amount of onion in the taco)
---
6.6x = 6.6*81.26 = 536.32 kg (amount of grilled steak in the taco)
