    dear sir

    If i have two rates USD/GBP 1.9 and Euro/GBP 1.45, what is the rule for which direction you divide. If i take 190/1.45 I get 1.31 (which I believe is correct), but what would stop me from taking 1.45/1.9???

    It depends on which way round you want the change rate to be presented.

    Given that 1.9$’s is equal to 1.45 euros, then 1€ = 1.9/1.45 = 1.31$’s, so the exchange rate is $/€ 1.31.

    Alternatively, 1$ = 1.45/1.9 = 0.76€’s, so the exchange rate is €/$ 0.76
