In a barter society it has been established that: 12 bananas = 2 paw paws = 1 coconut -10 potatoes
100 potatoes = 1 shark's tooth necklace
1. How many bananas are required to buy' two coconuts?
2. How many paw paws are needed to buy 50 potatoes?
3. If you had 70 potatoes, how many bananas would you trade for them?
4. How many coconuts would you need to buy a shark's tooth necklace/
5. What would you do if the owner of the necklace said he did not want coconuts but would accept
bananas? How many bananas would you need?
6. You have one coconut and wish to get some potatoes but you only want 5 potatoes, not the 10
potatoes that one coconut would buy. Can you suggest at least one way of getting just 5 potatoes?

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
