You are on an alien planet where the names for substances and the units of measures are very unfamiliar.

Nonetheless, you obtain 70 quibs of a substance called skvarnick.
You can trade this skvarnick for gold coins, but the vendors all measure skvarnick in units of sleps: not quibs.
10 quibs is equal to 3 sleps.
If you have 70 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:

21 sleps

Explanation:

This is a very wordy question, but isn't too hard once broken down:

You have 70 quibs, and so have 7 lots of 10.

If 10 quibs is equal to 3 sleps, then you have 7*3 sleps.

7*3 is 21 sleps.

Hope that helps!
