Question #8c1b7

Answer 1

Scott would get more euros if he converted his pounds to euros in Paris.

Explanation:

What we are given are conversion factors which allow us to change units. Let's first write them down and then try to decide which is better. We have, first in London:

`(1£)/(1.19€)` or `(1.19€)/(1£)`

Of course, since we are staring with pounds we'll use the second one so that the pounds cancel and we end up with euros. In Paris, if we just look at the "euro on top" conversion, we get:

`(1€)/(0.83£) = (1.20€)/(1£)`

Since `1.20` euros per pound is greater than `1.19` euros per pound, we see that Scott would get more euros if he converted his pounds to euros in Paris.
