The exchange rate is € (Euro) 1 = ฿ (Thai Baht) 38.
€ | ฿ |
1 | 38 |
55 | \( x \) |
The amount of Baht will be greater than 55. Therefore, from the numbers in the first row, we create the fraction that is greater than 1 (i.e. \( \frac{38}{1} \))
\begin{align} So \quad x & =\frac{38}{1}\ \times\ 55 \\ \\ & = \ ฿\ 2090 \\ \\ \end{align}€ | ฿ |
1 | 38 |
\(x \) | 4700 |
The amount of Euros will be less than 4700. Therefore, from the numbers in the first row, we create the fraction that is less than 1 (i.e. \( \frac{1}{38} \))
\begin{align} So \quad x & =\frac{1}{38}\ \times\ 4700 \\ \\ & = \ €\ 123.68 \\ \\ \end{align}
