Answer 1

The exchange rate measures the relationship between two currencies.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first case, the depreciated peso., Because before it needed 1.5 pesos to buy a dollar, now it takes 3 pesos to buy 1 dollar. In the second case, the dollar depreciated. As in the first case, it takes more dollar to buy a euro. It used to be $ 1.15 to buy one euro, now $ 1.3 is needed.
