Question

You are on an alien planet where the names for substances and the units of measures are very unfamiliar.

Nonetheless, you obtain 8 quibs of a substance called skvarnick in units of sleps; not quibs.

9 sleps is equal to 13 quibs.

If you have 8 quibs of skvarnick, how many sleps do you have?

Round your answer to the nearest tenth (one decimal place). Type only the number; not the number and unit

Answer 1

Given that in the alien planet the names of substances and the units in which they are measured in not familiar.

8 quibs of a substance called skvarnik is present.

The conversion factor between sleps and quibs is: 9 sleps = 13 quibs

Converting 8 quibs of skvarnick to sleps:

$8 quibs * \frac{9 sleps}{13 quips}= 5.54sleps$

5.54 when rounded to nearest tenth becomes 5.5.

So the correct answer would be 5.5
