Final answer:

There appears to be confusion in the question as the options provided do not match the correct conversion of $4000 to British pounds at an exchange rate of 1 pound to 63 USD, which should result in approximately 63.49 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking how many British pounds you will receive if you convert $4000 at an exchange rate of 63 US dollars to British pounds. To find the answer, you simply divide the amount of US dollars you have by the exchange rate provided. So, if the exchange rate is "63," this implies 1 British pound equals 63 US dollars. Therefore, you take the amount in US dollars ($4000) and divide it by 63 to find out how many British pounds you will get.

$4000 ÷ 63 = £63.49 (rounded to two decimal places)

However, there seems to be a misunderstanding in the question as the given options do not match the calculation result. It's important to ensure the exchange rate is correctly stated as a single unit rate (e.g., 1 pound = 63 USD) and not as a total exchange value. Please check the accuracy of the exchange rate and try the calculation again if necessary.
