Question

1 terp = 5 plogs 1 terp = 0.2 hucks Una has 200 plogs and 40 hucks. If she exchanges the plogs and hucks for terps according to the rates above, how many terps will she receive?

Answer 1

To calculate the number of terps that Una will receive, we need to convert her plogs and hucks to terps using the given conversion rates.

Given:
1 terp = 5 plogs
1 terp = 0.2 hucks

First, let's convert the number of plogs to terps:
200 plogs * (1 terp / 5 plogs) = 40 terps

Next, let's convert the number of hucks to terps:
40 hucks * (1 terp / 0.2 hucks) = 200 terps

Finally, we add the terps from converting plogs and hucks together:
40 terps + 200 terps = 240 terps

Therefore, Una will receive 240 terps.
