If 15 bahs are equal to 24 rahs, and 9 rahs are equal in value to 15 yahs, how many bahs are equal in value to 1000 yahs?
I need to find a way to relate bahs and yahs using the given information. I can start by writing an equation that represents the first part of the problem: 15 bahs = 24 rahs. Then I can write another equation that represents the second part: 9 rahs = 15 yahs. Now I have two equations that relate bahs, rahs, and yahs, but I still need to find a way to relate bahs and yahs directly. I notice that both equations have rahs in them, so I can try to use one equation to substitute for rahs in the other. For example, I can use the second equation to rewrite rahs in terms of yahs. If I divide both sides of the second equation by 9, I get that 1 rah = 15/9 yahs. Now I can plug this into the first equation and get: 15 bahs = 24 * (15/9) yahs. If I simplify this, I get: 15 bahs = 40 yahs. Now I have an equation that relates bahs and yahs directly. I can use this equation to answer the question of how many bahs are equal in value to 1000 yahs. If I multiply both sides of the equation by 1000/40, I get: (1000/40) * 15 bahs = 1000 yahs. If I simplify this, I get: 375 bahs = 1000 yahs. So the answer is 375.
