Question

You are on an alien planet where the names for substances and the units of measures are very unfamiliar. Nonetheless, you obtain 69 quibs of a substance called skvarnick. You can trade this Skvarnick for gold coins, but the vendors all measure skvarnick units of sleps; not quibs. 9 sleps is equal to 6 quibs. If you have 14 quibs of skvarnick, how many sleps do you have? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (one decimal place). Type only the number; not the number and unit.

Answer 1

Answer: 21 sleps

Explanation:

Given information: The substance skvarnick can be traded for gold coins in units of sleps and not quibs. Thus we need to convert the units of quibs to sleps.

It is given that 9 sleps is eqaul to 6 quibs, 14 quibs = ____ sleps.

`6\text{ quibs} = 9\text{ sleps}`

`14\text{ quibs} = (9)/(6)* {14}\text{ sleps}`

`=21\text{ sleps}`
