So you know that 11 U.S. Dollars can be exchanged for 10 Euros which is 10/11. To figure out how many Euros you will receive for 1 Dollor you have to find the unit rate. To do this divide 10 by 11. The answer is 0.90

Answer:

0.91 Euros

Explanation:

We know that 11 U.S. Dollars can be exchanged for 10 Euros. We know that exists a linear relationship between the amount of U.S Dollars and the amount of Euros. This linear relationship can be written as :


(11(U.S.Dollars))/(10(Euros))=(1(U.S.Dollars))/(x)

If we solve the equation for x :


x=(1(U.S.Dollars).10(Euros))/(11(U.S.Dollars))=(10)/(11)(Euros)


x=0.9090(Euros) ≅ 0.91 Euros

We find that for 1 U.S.Dollar I will receive 0.91 Euros.
