Question 10291
Let's start with this:
1 hammock = 100 fish


Now remember that when you multiply 100 fish by 1, will stillhave 100 fish or 1 hammock.  Also, keep in mind that when you divide two quanties that are equal to each other, you get 1.  So, when you divide {{{(50 bananas)/(20 coconuts) }}}, {{{ (30 coconuts)/(12 fish) }}}, etc. you get 1.  Right?


1 hammock = 100 fish * 1 * 1
1 hammock = {{{100 fish* ((30 coconuts)/(12 fish))}}}
1 hammock = {{{100 fish* ((30 coconuts)/(12 fish)) * ((50 bananas)/(20 coconuts))}}} = 625 bananas!


That's a LOT of bananas!!
