Just take the reciprocal.

1/0.27 = 3.704

    Your math is fine. I wonder if someone's expecting a more complicated answer to a simple question.

  • yeah, not sure what's going on, question and answer are both on-topic. There's not much more to be said.

    My guess (though I didn't downvote) is that no one's mentioned the difference between the buy, sell and mid-market rates. If the OP's rate was the mid-market rate, the above figure will be the correct reverse mid-market rate; if the OP's rate is the buy-price for GBP, then the sell price will be different from the above figure.

    @TripeHound - no offense taken; just wanted to make it clear to other readers how I was thinking ;-)
