Suppose the potatoes at the store in the Netherlands are priced at 0.42 guilders per kilograms where one dollar is worth 1.91 guilders what is the price of potatoes in Dollars per pound?
0.42 * guilders/kg * 1/1.91 * dollars/guilder = 0.42/1.91 dollars/kg
0.45359237 * kg/pound * 0.42/1.91 * dollars/kg =
= 0.45359237 * 0.42/1.91 dollars/lb =
= approx. 0.09974 dollars/lb
I looked up how many kg are in a pound.
