Exchange rate question

Hello,

Can anybody explain how you answer the below
question? I'm stumped.

Change 4600 euros into dollars.

We know that £1 is equivalent to €1.15 and $1.48.

Many thanks

Surely it's easiest to convert 4600 euros into pounds, then once you have your value in pounds you can convert back to dollars.

We know for every 1.15 euro we have £1, so it's just a simple division to get 4600 euros into pounds.
Then your next step would be to convert your pound value into dollars as it's in a much simpler form/ratio of £1 : $1.48 i.e. for every £1 you have, you will get $1.48
