The metric system is a decimal (base-10) system, and the British system is, in part, a duodecimal (base-12) system. Discuss the ramifications if our monetary system had a duodecimal base. What would be the possible values of our coins if this were the case
التوضيح
The metric system is a base-10 (decimal) system and British system is a base-12(duodecimal) system.
In the decimal system (base-10), a dime is equal to 10 cents.
Here,
is symbol of penny.
One dollar is equal to 10 dimes.
Substitute
for dime in the above equation.
Similarly, in a duodecimal (base-12) system, a dime is equal to 12 ¢.
A dollar is equal to 12 dimes.
Substitute
for dime in the above equation.
Rewrite equation for
.
Therefore, a penny would be
of a decimal dollar.
