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

Answer: 5.5

The alien planet has unfamiliar names for substances and units of measures.  

8 quibs of the substance called skwarnick has been obtained.

According to the units of  measurement used in the alien planet,

13 quibs equal to 9 sleps

Therefore, 1 quib =$\frac{9}{13}sleps$

Thus, 8 quibs of skvarnick = $\frac{9}{13}$ x 8 = 5.5 sleps.

For this reason, 8 quibs of skvarnick in units of sleps is 5.5 sleps.
