You are on an alien planet where the names for substances and the units of measures are very unfamiliar.

Nonetheless, you obtain 29 quibs of a substance called skvarnick.

You can trade this skvarnick for gold coins, but the vendors all measure skvarnick in units of sleps; not quibs.

10 quibs is equal to 4 sleps.

If you have 29 quibs of skvarnick, how many sleps do you have?

Round your answer to the nearest tenth (one decimal place).

    So a quib seems to be a unit of measure

    and we have another unit called sleps

    so sleps:quibs is some ratio

    oh nice, 10quibs:4sleps

    yo have 29 quibs

    easy

    29quibs:? sleps=10quibs:4sleps

    ratio and proportion

    29/?=10/4

    times both sides by 4?

    (4) (29) = 10?

    116=10?

    divide both sides by 10

    11.6=?

    you have 1 11.6 sleps

    anohter way

    10quibs=4sleps

    divide by 10 both sides

    1quib=4/10 sleps=2/5 sleps

    times 29 both sides

    29 quibs = (29*2) / 5=58/5=11.6 sleps

    yo has 11.6 sleps
