ming was planning a trip to western samoa. before going she did some research and learned that the exchange rate is 6 tala for $2. how many tala would she get if she exchanged $6
According to the given exchange rate, 6 tala equals $2.
So, each tala is worth $2/6 = $1/3.
If Ming exchanges $6, she would receive $6 x (1/3) = $2 worth of tala.
Therefore, Ming would get 2 tala if she exchanged $6.
To find out how many tala Ming would get if she exchanged $6, we need to set up a proportion using the exchange rate.
The given exchange rate is 6 tala for $2.
We can set up the proportion as follows:
6 tala / $2 = x tala / $6
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and divide:
6 tala * $6 = $2 * x tala
36 tala = 2x tala
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
36 tala / 2 = x tala
18 tala = x tala
Therefore, Ming would get 18 tala if she exchanged $6.
