If the indirect rate for marks is 3 and the direct rate for pound is $0.50, then the crossrate for marks per pound is:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cross rate can be found by dividing the direct rate for the pound ($0.50) by the indirect rate for marks (3), which gives $0.50 / 3 = $0.1667. However, since none of the options match this calculation, it seems there might have been a misunderstanding in the calculation process. Given the options, the correct approach to find the marks per pound would involve understanding that if the indirect rate for marks is 3, it means $1 = 3 marks. Given the direct rate for pound is $0.50, to find how many marks you get for a pound, you would multiply the marks equivalent of $1 by 2 (since $0.50 is half of $1), which gives 3 marks * 2 = 6 marks per pound, indicating a mistake in the initial explanation. The correct answer, based on the provided options and understanding of cross rates, should be B) 6.00.
