Recall / Warm-Up

What operation do we use to convert a foreign currency into Uganda Shillings?

Division, since we split the foreign amount by the exchange rate

Multiplication, because the exchange rate tells us what 1 foreign unit equals, so for more than 1 unit we scale that value up

Subtraction, because we remove the exchange rate's value from the amount

No calculation is needed — the values are always already equal
