Answer

50 Smoots is equal to 60.8491 Willies

Work Step by Step

The question asks to convert 50 Smoots into Willies. We can do this using the information that is already provided within the figure (212 Smoots is the same as 258 Willies). To do this conversion we use cross multiplication: $$\frac{212s}{258w} = \frac{50s}{?w}$$ Which means that: $$258\times50 = 212\times?w$$ and therefore: $$12900 =212\times?w$$ $$\frac{12900}{212}=?w$$ Leaving our answer to be: 50 Smoots is equal to 60.8491 Willies
