Question

How many dimes could you trade for 360 pesos? $1 = 1500 pesos.

O 1.5 dimes
O 5.4 dimes
O 540 dimes
O 2.4 dimes

Answer 1

The correct option is (d).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

1$ = 1500 pesos

We need to convert 360 pesos into dimes

We can convert 360 pesos to dollars as follows:

`360\ \text{pesos}=\$(1)/(1500)* 360\\\\=$0.24`

360 pesos is equal to $0.24

Also, 1 dollar = 10 dimes

We can covert 0.24 dollar to dimes as follows :

0.24 dollar = 10 × 0.24 dimes

0.24 dollar = 2.4 dimes

or

360 pesos = 2.4 dimes
