Explain this !!!!?

there are 100 paise is a Rupee (Rupee is India Currency) so 1 Rupee = 100 paise = 10 x 10 paise = 1/10 x 1/10 Rupee = 0.1 x 0.1 Rupee = 0.01 Rupee = 1 paise (as 0.01 Rupee is nothing but 1 paise) What's wrong in this ? Please Explain.

  1. 10 x 10 paise = 1/10 x 1/10 Rupee is wrong because 10 sets of 10 paise is really just 10 sets of 1/10 Rupee. Changing it twice is dimensionally wrong.
  2. In (10 * 10) paise, one of the 10's refers to the number of paise while the other is the number of groups of 10 paise available. Therefore when you convert to rupees, only one of the 10's should be converted. => 1 rupee = 100 paise = 10 * 10paise =10 * 0.1 rupree =1 rupee
  3. 1 Rupee = 100 paise = 10 x (10 paise) =10 x (1/10 Rupee) = 10 x (0.1 Rupee) = 1 Rupee
  4. hmmmm.... im not good in math especially fractions..... but you can figure it out.
  5. your third step is wrong
  6. Do not ask me questions that make me think. I am just a ppppoooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrr old lady who has had to think all of her life. I am thinked out.
  7. 1 Rupee = 100 paise = 10 x 10 paise = 1/10 x 1/10 Rupee (this line is wrong) here paise is unit & once only ie its 10 * 10 (paise) or for that matter u can say 10 (paise) * 10. & not 10 (paise) * 10 (paise). S0,u can write only 1 Rupee = 100 paise = 10 x 10 paise = 10 x 1/10 Rupee = 10 x 0.1 Rupee = 1 Rupee. & not 1 Rupee = 1 paise. that gives the answer.
  8. passage from second to third row is incongruent: you must write 10*10 paise = 10*10 (1/100)rupee or, if you like, 10*10 (1/10 * 1/10 rupee) = ... 1 rupee; doing like you did, you applied the equivalence twice in the same formula, and so in fact you were saying that 10000 paise = 1 rupee...
