We need to calculate the smallest amount of pounds Stephen could have converted to receive €43.47, considering the two exchange rates provided:

1. Airport 1: £1 = €1.15
2. Airport 2: £1 = €1.08

We can find the number of pounds Stephen converted by dividing the amount of euros (€43.47) by each exchange rate and then selecting the smallest result.

Let's calculate this.

### Airport 1:
\[
\text{Pounds converted at Airport 1} = \frac{43.47}{1.15}
\]

### Airport 2:
\[
\text{Pounds converted at Airport 2} = \frac{43.47}{1.08}
\]

I'll compute these values now.- At **Airport 1**, Stephen would have converted approximately **£37.80**.
- At **Airport 2**, Stephen would have converted approximately **£40.25**.

The smallest amount of pounds Stephen could have converted is **£37.80** at Airport 1.

Would you like further clarification on these calculations or details on currency conversion?

Here are five related questions to explore further:
1. How would the exchange rates affect larger conversions?
2. If the exchange rate changed slightly, how would that impact the pounds required?
3. What if Stephen received a different amount of euros—how would the smallest pounds change?
4. How does the euro-pound conversion rate affect travel expenses overall?
5. Could transaction fees at airports impact the total pounds converted?

**Tip:** Always consider transaction fees and hidden charges when converting currencies at airports.

Stephen converted some pounds at one of these airports and received €43.47. What is the smallest amount of money that he could have converted?

Learn how to calculate the smallest amount of pounds that Stephen could have converted to receive €43.47. This problem involves using two different exchange rates—£1 = €1.15 and £1 = €1.08—to determine the minimum pounds converted. Suitable for students in Grades 5-7.
