for this question, you only need to multiply the units mentioned in the answer choices to the corresponding conversion rates in the table given, and then see which one is the biggest.


out of the 5 options, you would only really need to calculate out E, the rest are simple enough. for e.g. .1 can be taken as 10%, so 10% of 98 = 9.8, which is smaller than 50% of 25 = 12.5.
