The task is to calculate the ratio of exchange rates. We must carefully write the equation.Let's write the equation.
0,56 p=1s=5,76 e
So
0,56 p=5,76 eWe have to show how much the Egyptian pound was equal to one British pound.
This means that we must obtain the equation 1p=.....
Of 0.56=56/100.56/100 multiply by 100/56 get 1.Multiply both parts of equation by 100/56
1 pound =10.2857 of egyptian pound.
