Answer 1

The ratio of meat to onion is 454:21.

Explanation:

Given:

Miley used all the ground beef from the package label 16oz.She added onions to the meat and had a combined weight of 475 grams.

Now, based on the given conversion ratio find the ratio that indicates the ounces in 1 gram be calculated:

As, ounces is denoted as oz.

So, to get the ounces in grams we multiply:

1 oz = 28.349 grams.

16 oz = 28.349 × 16 grams.

16 oz = 453.584 grams.

16 oz = 454 grams (approximately).

Now, the weight of meat is 454 grams, and the combined weight is 475 grams. So to get the weight of onions we subtract:

The weight of onions are = 475 grams - 454 grams = 21 grams.

Now, the ratio of meat to the onions are:

`Meat:onions = 454:21\ grams`

Therefore, the ratio of meat to onion is 454:21.
