Consider the exchange rates shown in the table (current for today) for these six currencies the U.S. dollar, the Euro, the British pound, the Japanese yen, the Swiss franc, and the Canadian dollar (partial). The numbers in the table show the amount of the currency heading that column it takes to buy one unit of the currency heading that row. For example, in the first column we can see that it takes 1.3546 U.S. dollars to buy 1 British pound. Likewise, in the third column we can see that it takes 0.7382 British pounds to buy 1 U.S. dollar. Of course these numbers are reciprocals of one another, i.e., 14(1.3546) = 0.7382.
