Solution

To find out what an ounce of gold should be worth in U.S. dollars, we need to convert the value of gold in pounds to U.S. dollars. Here's how we do it:

Step 1: Identify the value of gold in pounds. In this case, it's 6 pounds per ounce.

Step 2: Identify the exchange rate between pounds and U.S. dollars. In this case, it's $4 = £1.

Step 3: Convert the value of gold in pounds to U.S. dollars. To do this, multiply the value of gold in pounds by the exchange rate. So, 6 pounds * 4=4 = 24.

So, an ounce of gold should be worth $24.00 in U.S. dollars.
