The following examples will shew in what manner the proportion between the long measures of any two given countries may be ascertained.

Examples.

It is required to reduce 100 metres new measure of France into feet of Hamburgh.

The French metre measuring 472,27 English lines, and the Hamburgh foot 135,30, according to the table prefixed, I state the following equation:

100 metres = x 1 metre = 472,27 lines 135,30 lines = 1 foot Result 349,05 feet.

Reduce 100 feet of Hamburgh into metres of France.

100 feet = x 1 foot = 135,30 lines 472,27 lines = 1 metre Result 28,65 metres.

The following examples will shew in what manner the proportion between the land measures of any two given countries may be ascertained.

Examples.

It is required to reduce 100 dessaetinas of Russia into fanegadas of Spain.

The dessaetina measuring 124620 square feet of England, and the fanegada 48215, according to the table prefixed, I state the following equation:

100 dessaetinas = x 1 dessaetina = 124620 square feet 48215 square ft. = 1 fanegada Result 258,47 fanegadas.

Reduce 100 fanegadas into dessaetinas.

100 fanegadas = x 1 fanegada = 48215 square feet 124620 square ft. = 1 dessaetina Result 38,69 dessaetinas.
