DENOM'INATE NUMBERS. There are 

 standard units of measure used in industrial, 

 commercial and scientific life. These units are 

 tabulated in groups which are called the tables 

 of denominate numbers. 



Any number of the units of measure is called 

 a denominate number; for example, 7 feet, 4 

 dollars, 17 gallons. A denominate number 

 which is expressed in terms of two or more 

 units of the same kind is called a compound 

 denominate number; as, 3 pounds, 5 ounces; 

 4 feet, 6 inches. 



Tables of Money. The following tables show 

 the values of various important money units: 



Table of United States Money 



10 mills =1 cent (ct.) 

 10 cents = 1 dime (d.) 

 10 dimes =1 dollar ($) 

 10 dollars = 1 eagle 



The dollar is the standard of value in the 

 United States, and is divided into tenths 

 (dimes), hundredths (cents), thousandths 

 (mills). 



Table of English Money 



4 farthings =1 penny (d. ) 

 12 pence =1 shilling (s.) 



20 shillings =1 pound () 



21 shillings =1 guinea 



The old English penny corresponded to a coin 

 used on the European, continent, called dena- 

 rius, hence the abbreviation "d" for penny. 

 The penny equals about two cents. The pound 

 sterling was, in the seventh century, a pound 

 Troy in silver, hence its name. To-day its 

 weight would be about one-third of its old 

 weight, but there is no coin of that denomina- 

 tion now. 



Table of Equivalent Values 



EQUIVALENT IN 

 COUNTRY STANDARD U. S. MONET 



United States Dollar $1 



Great Britain Pound (Sterling) 4.8665 



France Franc 0.193 



Germany Mark 0.238 



Austria-Hungary Crown 0.203 



Italy Lira 0.193 



Greece Drachma 0.193 



Spain Peseta 0.193 



Russia Ruble 0.772 



We think ordinarily of a pound () as $5; a 

 franc, a lira, a drachma, a peseta as $.20; a 

 mark, a shilling as $.25. 



1 franc =100 centimes (c.) 

 1 mark =100 pfennigs (pfs.) 

 1 ruble =100 copecs (c.) 

 1 crown = 100 heller 

 1 lira =100 centesimi 



Tables of Length, Surface and Volume. Be- 

 low are several important tables giving values 

 of units used in measuring distances, surfaces, 

 etc. In measuring distance or length, the 

 standard unit is the yard, and the table is 

 called the Table of Linear Measure: 



12 inches (in.)=l foot (ft.) 

 3 feet =1 yard (yd.) 



5% yards =1 rod (rd.) 



16% feet =1 rod 



320 rods =1 mile (mi.) 



5280 feet =1 mile 



The student taking up this subject should do 

 much measuring inside and out-of-doors, get- 

 ting real knowledge of the measures, not mere 

 words. The home can be of much help to the 

 school here because of the freedom possible in 

 the house, yard, farm, etc. The school should 

 ask for returns from measurements made at 

 home. 



From the linear, table follows the table of 

 square or surface measure; this is derived by 

 building a square in each linear unit from inch 

 through to rod. 



Table of Common Surface Measure 



144 square inches = 1 square foot ( sq. ft. ) 



(sq. in.) 



9 square feet =1 square yard (sq. yd.) 

 30^4 square yards =1 square rod (sq. rd. ) 

 160 square rods =1 acre (A.) 

 640 acres =1 square mile (sq. ml. ) 



The illustration at the 

 right (Fig. 1) represents 

 a square built on an inch ; 

 that is, one square inch. 

 It is clear that a square 

 built on % inch is ^4 of 

 a s.quare inch. n

The following (Fig. 2) represents a square 

 built on a foot, divided into inches; that is, a 

 square foot divided into square inches.
