Suggested Lesson Plan for this Worksheet

 

Foreign exchange rates, or the rate of exchange, is the rate at which one currency is converted into another currency.  Exchange rates are usually given as one unit of one currency to X units of another currency.  Exchange rates give the relative prices of different currencies.

 

For example, if the US Dollar to British Pound exchange rate is 1:2 then one US Dollar is converted into two British Pounds. 

 

To calculate the reverse, we divide 1 by the exchange rate.  Using the above example, one British Pound would be converted into 1 divided by 2, or 1/2.  So One British Pound would equal 1/2 of a US Dollar.

 

Questions for discussion:

Why might we need to know exchange rates?

What happens if one countries currency falls drastically vs another countries currency?

When might you use exchange rates?
