8y ago#1First, direct and indirect don't mean anything without knowing which country you are in.
As to which rate to use - I spend a lot of time on this in my first lecture on foreign exchange risk management, and explain the logic.
With regard to changing the quote against one currency into a quote against the other currency - yes, you divide the quote into 1, and your example is correct.
