The exchange rate is ¥ (Japanese) 3.2 = ₹ (Indian) 2.15

How many Indian Rupees are equivalent to 975 Japanese Yen ?
¥
3.2 2.15
975 \( x \)

The amount of Rupees will be less than 975. Therefore, from the numbers in the first row, we create the fraction that is less than 1 (i.e. \( \frac{2.15}{3.2} \))

\begin{align} So \quad x & =\frac{2.15}{3.2}\ \times\ 975 \\ \\ & = \ ₹ \ 655.08 \\ \\ \end{align}
How many Japanese Yen are equivalent to 325 Indian Rupees ?
¥
3.2 2.15
\(x \) 325

The amount of Yen will be greater than 325. Therefore, from the numbers in the first row, we create the fraction that is greater than 1 (i.e. \( \frac{3.2}{2.15} \))

\begin{align} So \quad x & =\frac{3.2}{2.15}\ \times\ 325 \\ \\ & = \ ¥\ 491.28 \\ \\ \end{align}
