Question

You are on an alien planet where the names for substances and the units of measures are very unfamiliar

Nonetheless, you obtain 20 quibs of a substance called skvarnick.
You can trade this skvarnick for gold coins, but the vendors all measure skvarnick in units of sleps; not quibs.
5 quibs is equal to 3 sleps
If you have 20 quibs of skvarnick, how many sleps do you have?
For full points, you must show your work as well as showing the answer. Follow the steps of the conversion procedure as explained in the course.

Answer 1

You first have to divide 5 by 20, because you want to know how many fives you can get from this 20. The answer you’ll get is 4 because 20/5 = 4. You will then take this 4 and multiply it by 3 because for 5 quibs you get 3 sleps so you would multiply that 4 with 3 to see how many sleps you’ll get. The answer would be 12 meaning 20 quibs of skvarnick equals 12 sleps.
