Answer 1

Filling the table;

left-hand side from top to bottom, empty spaces are;

500 pesos

20 pesos

60 pesos

On right hand side;

the only space is 24 dollars

Explanation:

Here, we want to complete the given table

The key to complete the table is knowing the exchange rate

Since 250 dollars have 5,000 pesos

what this mean is that 1 dollars is 5000/250 = 20 pesos

And 1 pesos = 250/5000 = 0.05 dollars

25 dollars in pesos will be;

25 * 20 = 500 pesos

1 dollars in pesos is 20 pesos

3 dollars in pesos will be 3 * 20 = 60 pesos

480 pesos in dollars will be 480 * 0.05 = 24 dollars
