Question

If 15 bahs are equal to 24 rahs, and 9 rahs are equal in value to 15 yahs, how many bahs are equal in value to 1000 yahs?

Answer 1

Answer:

  375

Step-by-step explanation:

  b : r = 15 : 24

  r : y = 9 : 15 = 3 : 5 = 24 : 40

Then ...

  b : r : y = 15 : 24 : 40

The number of bahs equivalent to 1000 yahs is ...

  bahs = (15/40)(1000) = 375

375 bahs are equal in value to 1000 yahs.
