Jim comes into the station with 45 beaver pelts. He would like to get gold for his pelts. How much will he get?
Answer:18 gold
To determine how much gold Jim will get for his beaver pelts, we need to calculate the total value of the pelts in silver coins and then convert it to gold coins.
Given that 1 beaver pelt is equal to 12 silver coins, we can multiply this value by the number of beaver pelts Jim has:
45 beaver pelts * 12 silver coins per pelt = 540 silver coins
Now, we need to convert the silver coins to gold coins. Knowing that 5 silver coins are equal to 1 gold coin, we divide the total number of silver coins by 5:
540 silver coins / 5 silver coins per gold coin = 108 gold coins
Therefore, Jim will receive 108 gold coins for his beaver pelts.
