Answer 1

One Japanese yen is equivalent to approximately 0.0136 Fijian dollars, which is not listed among the provided options. Thus, the correct answer is option 5) None of these are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked for the value of one Japanese yen in Fijian dollars, given that one yen is worth $0.0080 and one Fijian dollar (F$) is worth $0.5900. To find the value of one currency in terms of another, you can use the ratio of their values in a common currency. In this case, we'll first find out how many Japanese yen make one U.S. dollar and then convert this to Fijian dollars.

To calculate the value of one yen in terms of Fijian dollars, we will set up a proportion. Since one Fijian dollar is worth $0.5900, we will divide the worth of one yen ($0.0080) by the worth of one Fijian dollar ($0.5900).

Value in Fijian dollars = Value in U.S dollars / Worth of one Fijian dollar
= $0.0080 / $0.5900
= 0.013559322 Fijian dollars per Japanese yen.

Therefore, the correct answer is none of the options provided as the value of one yen in Fijian dollars is approximately 0.0136 when rounded.
