Which of them is correct?

Thus, the fish are worth 10 x 10 g of gold.<BR/><BR/>Since you've assigned the total production of fish at 10 tons and the total production of gold at 10 grams, 1 tenth of the fish (1 ton) does in fact equal 10 grams of gold.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-78349046128898880742008-07-17T01:20:00.000-06:002008-07-17T01:20:00.000-06:00I tried your formula using fish and gold and assig...I tried your formula using fish and gold and assigning some arbitrary production numbers. Leave viablitiy of the world aside for a moment.<BR/><BR/>I have assigned 10 points to the production of gold and 100 points to the production of fish (10 tons of fish). I have decided on 10 grams of gold produced world wide. 10g_gold / 10p_gold = 1g_gold per point times 100 p_fish production equals 100g of gold for all the fish in the world (10 tons). Fish = 10g of gold per ton.<BR/><BR/>Is this a correct use of your formula?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
