p.112 (39) "A lorry containing 5 tons of sugar, valued at £233
and representing a weekly ration for 18,520 people was stolen."
From this statement find, to the nearest oz., the weekly ration of sugar per person and the cost of this ration to each person (Ans. correct to nearest &half d.).
(1£ = 240 d.; 1 ton = 2240 lb.; 1 lb = 16 oz. lb.stands for pound, oz. for ounce)
When I was very young, we had the farthing coin, one quarter of a penny, as well as the ha'penny.
Rationing continued here for a few years after the war (WW2) ended.
