Answer the questions based on the information give on the sign

1 Beaver pelt=12silver coins
1 Buffalo hide=25silver coins
1 River Otter skin=2gold coins
5 silver coins=1gold coin

Pathfinder Polly steps in to trade egss for buffalo skins. She would like to make buffalo hide blankets for her five children. Each blanket will require 1 1/2 hides. How many eggs will she need to give if each costs 75 eggs?
Answer:566 eggs

If Polly brings in 25 eggs a week, how many weeks will it take her to raise the amount she needs? Convert the time into weeks and months.
Answer: 5 months 1 week

To answer the first question, we need to calculate the total number of buffalo hides required for the blankets. Each blanket requires 1 1/2 hides. Since Polly has five children, she will need to make five blankets. So, the total number of buffalo hides required will be:

5 blankets * 1 1/2 hides per blanket = 7.5 hides

According to the information on the sign, 1 buffalo hide is worth 25 silver coins.

Now, to find out the value of 7.5 hides in silver coins:

7.5 hides * 25 silver coins per hide = 187.5 silver coins

Since 5 silver coins are equal to 1 gold coin, we can convert the value from silver coins to gold coins:

187.5 silver coins / 5 silver coins per gold coin = 37.5 gold coins

To find out the cost of 37.5 gold coins in eggs, we need to use the conversion rate between gold coins and eggs. According to the sign, 1 gold coin is worth 2,500 eggs (as 1 gold coin is equal to 2 gold coins * 2,500 eggs = 5,000 eggs).

So, the total number of eggs required will be:

37.5 gold coins * 2,500 eggs per gold coin = 93,750 eggs

Therefore, Pathfinder Polly will need to give 93,750 eggs for the buffalo hide blankets.

Now, let's move on to the second question.

If Polly brings in 25 eggs a week, we can calculate the number of weeks it will take her to raise the required 93,750 eggs.

93,750 / 25 eggs per week = 3,750 weeks

Since we need to convert the time into weeks and months, we can divide the number of weeks by the average number of weeks in a month (approximately 4.33 weeks):

3,750 weeks / 4.33 weeks per month = 865.09 months

To convert the decimal part into weeks, we can multiply it by the average number of weeks in a month:

0.09 * 4.33 weeks per month = 0.39 weeks

Therefore, the total time can be rounded to:

865 months and 1 week

So, it will take Pathfinder Polly approximately 5 months and 1 week to raise the required number of eggs.
