Question 653541
the worlds largest taco contained approximately 1kg of onion for every 6.6kg of grilled steak. the total weight of these two ingredients was 617.6kg. to the nearest tenth of a kg how many kilograms of each ingredient were used to make the taco
**
let x=kg of onions used
617.6-x=kg of steak used
..
x/(617.6-x)=1/6.6
6.6x=617.6-x
7.6x=617.6
x=617.6/7.6
x≈81.3 kg
617.6-x≈536.3 kg
kg of onions used≈81.3
kg of steak used≈536.3
