I can't remember any math that doesn't have to do with area, volume or geometry, and I like a whole enchilada, so... Since 2 loaves is worth 7 oranges and 2 loaves is also worth 2 bananas and six oranges then two banana is worth one orange. So I trade my five fish for two loaves, trade two loaves for two bananas and six oranges, and trade six oranges for twelve bananas. Ha! 14 bananas. Or I could keep the fish and pay a 5r.
