Question 220210: In a far off land, 3 fish can be traded for 2 loaves of bread, and a loaf of bread can be traded for 4 bags of rice. How many bags of rice is 1 fish worth? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
If a loaf of bread is worth 4 bags of rice, 2 loaves of bread are worth 8 bags of rice. Since 3 fish = 2 loaves, 3 fish = 8 bags, hence 1 fish = 8/3 bags of rice or 2 2/3 bags of rice.
