350 GENERAL TOPICS. 



C. CAPACITY. 



I. DRY MEASURE. 



I bushel = the volume of 77.627 lbs. of distilled water at 4°C.; 



t bushel =. 4 pecks = 8 gallons = 32 quarts = 2150.4 cubic inches; 



1 peck = 2 gallons = 8 quarts = 537.6 ** " 



I gallon = 4 quarts = 268,8 " " 



I quart = 67.2 '* ** 



2. LIQUID MEASURE, 

 t gallon = the volume of 8.3383822 lbs. = 58,373 troy grains of distilled 



water at 4° C.;* 

 I gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 32 gills = 231 cubic inches; 

 I quart = 2 pints = 8 gills = 57.75 " " 



1 pint = 4 gills = 28.88 " " 



Metric System of Weights and Measures. 



I. LINEAR MEASURES. 

 I meter (m) = 10 decimeters (dm)= 100 centimeters (cm) = 1000 millimeter 

 (mmi = .1 decameters (Dm) = ,01 Hectometer (Hm) = .001 Kilometei 

 (Km) = .0001 Myriameter (Mm), 



I Mm = 10 Km = 100 Hm = 1000 Dm = 10,000 m; 

 I Km = 10 Hm = 100 Dm = 1,000 m; 

 I Hm = 10 Dm = 100 m; 

 I Dm = so m ; 

 t m = 10 dm =: 100 cm =r 1000 mm ; 

 I dm = 10 cm = 100 mm; 

 I cm = 10 mm. 



2, SURFACE MEASURES. 

 I Are (a) = 100 square meters (sq. m,) = .01 hectare (ha) ; 

 I Are = I sq. Dm. = 100 square m ; 

 I sq. Km = 100 H;i = 10,000 A = 1,000.000 sq. m ; 

 1 Ha = 100 A — 10,000 sq. m ; 

 1 A = 100 sq, m. 



3. MEASURES OF CAPACITY. 

 1 liter (1) = I cubic decimeter (cdm) = 1,000 cubic centimeters (c. c.) =• 

 o.ooi cubic meter (cbm) = 10 deciliters (dl) = 100 centiliters (ci) = .01 

 hectoliter (hi). 



I HI = 10 Dl = 100 I = 1,000 dl =r 10,000 cl ; 



I Dl = 10 1 = 100 dl = 1,000 cl ; 



I 1 = 10 dl = 100 cL 



4. WEIGHTS. 



X kilogram (kg) = 100 decagrams (Dg) = 1000 grams (g); 



I gram = 10 decigrams (ag; = 100 centigrams (cg)= 1,000 mJlliprams (mg); 



I ton = 1000 Kg = 100,000 Dg = 1,000,000 g ; 



100 Kg = 10,000 Dg = 100,000 g ; 



1 Kg = 100 D^ = 1,000 g,
