First fill in the two blanks on the left side of the equation using two of the ratios. THEN WRITE THE ANSWER ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST HUNDREDTH ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE EQUATION

Answer 1

Given tha the Consultant gets 82000 dollars per year and the conversion is 1

rupee = 0.016 dollars

Ten,

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ dollar=}(1)/(0.016)\text{ rupees } \\ 1\text{ dollar = 62.5 rupees----------------\lparen i\rparen} \end{gathered}`

Multiplying by 82000 in eq (i) we have

82000 dollars = 82000 x 62.5 rupees

82000 dollars = 5125000 rupees

he will earn 5125000 rupees per year.

Since there are 12 months in a year.

so, the per month salary will be

`(5125000)/(12)rupees\text{ = 427083.3 rupees}`

Hence, the monthly salary in rupees will be 427083.3 rupees.
