It is required to reduce 100 alquiers of Lisbon into fanegas of Cadiz.

The alquier containing 824 cubic inches, and the fanega 3311, according to the table prefixed, I state the following equation:

100 alquiers = x 1 alquier = 824 cubic inches 3311 cubic inches = 1 fanega Result 24,89 fanegas.

Reduce 100 fanegas of Cadiz into alquiers of Lisbon.

100 fanegas = x 1 fanega = 3311 cubic inches 824 cubic inches = 1 alquier Result 401,82 alquiers.
