5300 pesos times us dollars per mexican peso?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes, when we want to get rid of say "pesos" we have to divide by "pesos" so that they cancel each other out, then we can multiply it by conversion rate in dollars

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[5000\cancel{(p)}*\frac{17.94($)}{.05574\cancel{(p)}}\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lol, i totally misread the information ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[5000\cancel{(p)}*\frac{1($)}{.05574\cancel{(p)}}\]or \[5000\cancel{(p)}*\frac{17.94($)}{1\cancel{(p)}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why 5000? its 5300 mexican pesos

OpenStudy (amistre64):

... typo is all :/

OpenStudy (amistre64):

5300 is the correct value to use on the left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically total pesos times mexican pesos per us dollars

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5300(pesos) \times (mexican pesos per US dollars)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5300\times17.94=95,082\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

(total pesos) times (us dollars) per (mexican pesos) to get rid of peseos we need to divide by peseos

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

mathLab is horrible at presenting this stuff there are .05774 dollars per peso

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah so i use that one instead of 17.94 like i did...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yeah :) 5300p * .05574 $/p = conversion

OpenStudy (amistre64):

295.42 is what i get for a chk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 2,954.22

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5300 pesos \times 0.5574 (us dollars per mexican pesos)\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you forgot a 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh 0.05574

OpenStudy (amistre64):

.055 74 <-- yeah :) .557 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

295.422 = 295.42?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could you help me figure this one out, getting confused with all of them...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, foot and inch are not metric so those are out ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and minute for time is not standard ... so its out

OpenStudy (amistre64):

that leaves just A left standing
