The exchange rate is 1 Canadian dollar = 0.57 pounds, and the amount to convert is 1500 Canadian dollars.

Step2: Calculate the pounds

To find the number of pounds, multiply the amount in Canadian dollars by the exchange rate. So, \( 1500 \times 0.57 \).
Calculating \( 1500 \times 0.57 \):
First, \( 1500 \times 0.5 = 750 \) and \( 1500 \times 0.07 = 105 \). Then, \( 750 + 105 = 855 \).
