Question

If £1 = 0.864 Lt, work out the amount, to the nearest penny , that 1 Lt is worth

Answer 1

`1\ Lt = \pounds 1.157`

Explanation:

Given

`\pounds 1 = 0.864\ Lt`

Required

Determine the worth of 1 Lt

`\pounds 1 = 0.864\ Lt`

Divide both sides by 0.864

`\pounds (1)/(0.864) = (0.864)/(0.864)\ Lt`

`\pounds (1)/(0.864) = 1\ Lt`

`1\ Lt = \pounds (1)/(0.864)`

`1\ Lt = \pounds 1.157` -- approximated
