[Phys-L] And you thought ratios were difficult?



From Feedback column, NewScientist, 9 July 2005 p56...

"FORBES Magazine used to market itself as
a ''capitalist tool''. But is it still sharp?
Bob Cockshott points us to an article stating
that 1 in 8 pounds sterling spent in British
shops goes to the supermarket chain
Tesco. Then, presumably out of concern for
readers not familiar with the value of the
UK pound, it helpfully informs us that this
is equivalent to 1.89 in every 15.15 US dollars
or 1.43 in every 11.48 euros."



Brian Whatcott Altus OK Eureka!
