Six pairs of socks cost as much as 1 coat, 2 pairs of jeans cost as much as 3 pairs of shoes, and 4 pairs of socks cost as much as one pair of jeans. How many coats could i exchange for 64 pairs of socks.

Options: A:4 B:1 C:2 D:3 E: None of these

I do not know how to work this question out.
Please Help me


Sagot :

(1) 6 pairs of socks = 1 coat
(2) 2 pairs of jeans = 3 pairs of shoes
(3) 4 pairs of socks = 1 pair of jeans

the last two points are irrelevant becuase we just need socks and coats. 
6 pairs of socks are equal to 1 coat. 
we need 64 pairs of socks. 
so, 64 ÷ 6 = 10.67

so we'll need 10.67 coats for 64 pairs of socks. 

i'm not sure if you've typed up the correct numbers becuase i don't think the answer would be expressed as a decimal. 

unless we say that we need 11 pairs of coats? 

perhaps reread the question again and make sure you've typed it up correctly
xD i hope i've helped.
