@jdoe0001

Answer 11

€1 = $1.298 <--- means, for every Euro you'd want, you have to give 1.298 US dollars

Answer 12

so if you want €2 , then 1.298 + 1.298
if you want €3, then 1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298
if you want €4, then 1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298

and so on

Answer 13

now
€2 , then 1.298 + 1.298 => 2 ( 1.298)
€3, then 1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298 => 3 (1.298)
€4, then 1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298 => 4 (1.298)
and so on

Answer 14

so what do you think it'll be for €75 in US dollars?

Answer 15

do i divide?

Answer 17

well \(\begin{matrix}
2euros, \implies1.298 + 1.298 & \implies 2 ( 1.298)\\
3euros, \implies 1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298 &\implies 3 (1.298)\\
4euros, \implies1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298 & \implies 4 (1.298)
\end{matrix}\)

Answer 18

Answer 22

\(\begin{matrix}
\color{red}{2}euros, \implies1.298 + 1.298 & \implies \color{red}{2} \times ( 1.298)\\
\color{red}{3}euros, \implies 1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298 &\implies \color{red}{3} \times (1.298)\\
\color{red}{4}euros, \implies1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298 & \implies \color{red}{4} \times (1.298)\\
\color{red}{5}euros, \implies1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298 + 1.298+ 1.298 & \implies \color{red}{5} \times (1.298)\\
\color{red}{75}euros \implies 1.298 +.....+1.298& \implies \$\ \square?
\end{matrix}\)
