Euro - English Pounds (Currency Converter)

Luisa is going to travel to London and go sight-seeing in the summer holidays. As the official currency in London are English pounds Luisa has to exchange Euros into pounds before she starts her journey. In a business newspaper the following exchange rate is given: 1 Euro = 0,85 English pounds (state April 3rd, 2017 - rounded off to the second decimal place). Complete the table, by replacing the zeros with random Euro values and convert them into the corresponding values for English pounds (use the arrow key to swich into the next field). To check your result you can show the line. All points should lie on this line. If not, review your calculations and enter the correct value in the table. Hint: You can enter 10 values at the most. Use a point instead of a comma (e.g. 1 Euro = 0.85 English pounds).
