Nicholas Richards · Answer 1

The first answer is 1.66 Japanese Yin

The second answer is 0.60 U. S. Dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of U. S. Dollars (USD) to Japanese Yin (JY) is 3 : 5 -

= USD : JY

= 3 : 5

To find the number of Yin received for 1 Dollar, divide the ratio on both sides by 3 as for 3 Dollars you receive 5 Yin -

= USD : JY

= 3 : 5

= 1 : 5/3

= 1 : 1.66

So, for 1 USD you will receive 1.66 JY

To find the number of Dollars received for 1 Yin, divide the ratio on both sides by 5 as for 5 Yin you receive 3 Dollars -

= USD : JY

= 3 : 5

= 3/5 : 1

= 0.60 : 1

So, for 1 JY you will receive 0.60 USD
