How long did the fixed exchange rate implemented by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) last?

The IMF-supported fixed exchange-rate system was established under the Bretton Woods agreements in the mid-1940s and effectively ended in 1971, when the United States stopped converting dollars into gold. That is roughly 26 years, or almost three decades. Therefore, the correct choice is “It lasted for almost three decades.”
