If 1 zilch is equal to 13 milches, and
1 milch is equal to 23 pilches, would you accept 8000 piches for 26 zilches?
Why or why not?
PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT YOU ANSWER!
Okay so the amount of the 26 zilches in milche terms is 338. To get the piches in milch term divide the 8000 piches by 23. This gives you around 348 milches in terms of piches. So yes you should take 8000 piches for 26 zilches. Hope I helped you.
Thank you! I get it now!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
To answer this question, we need to understand the relationship between the given units (zilches, milches, and pilches) and be able to perform conversions to determine if the proposed exchange is fair or not.
1 zilch = 13 milches
1 milch = 23 pilches
To determine whether accepting 8000 pilches for 26 zilches is fair, we need to convert one unit to another until we have a common unit for comparison.
First, let's convert the 26 zilches to milches. Since 1 zilch is equal to 13 milches, we can multiply 26 by 13 to get:
26 zilches * 13 milches/zilch = 338 milches
Now, let's convert the 8000 pilches to milches. Since 1 milch is equal to 23 pilches, we can divide 8000 by 23 to get:
8000 pilches / 23 pilches/milch = 347.83 milches (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Now we have both quantities in milches:
338 milches (from the zilches) and 347.83 milches (from the pilches).
Since these two quantities are in the same unit, we can compare them directly.
So, to answer the question, we would not accept 8000 pilches for 26 zilches because 8000 pilches is equivalent to 347.83 milches, which is greater than 338 milches, the equivalent value of 26 zilches. The exchange is not fair based on the given conversion rates.
