d. Inch, 



1 o or 10 is the 4- and -f of a Shilling or Foot. 



1 1 is always accounted by calling the fingle U- 

 nits away as you multiply : For Inftance, if you 

 multiply 1 1 Inches by 26 Foot, i;t is 26 Foot want- 

 ing 26 Inches^ which is eafily difcover'd to be 

 23 Foot 10 Inches. 



.8 gnd 9 Inches or Pence, are likewife wrought 

 by a double Number. 



8 Ipches by T of a Foot twice repeated. 



9 Inches by 4 and -^ of a Foot added together. 

 But this whole Matter will be made very plain 

 by the following Examples. 



The Aliquot, or even Parts of a Pound, 

 1 5. is the 20th Part of a Pound. 

 5^. is the loth Part of a Pound. 



2 5. 6d, is the 8th Part of a Pound, 

 35. 4^. is the 6th Part of a Pound. 

 45. is the 5 th Part of a Pound. 



5 5. is the 4th Part of a Pound. 



6 s. Sd, is the 3d Part of a Pound. 

 "js. 6 d. is the t Part of a Pound. 



10 5. i§ the 4 Part of a Pound. 

 135. 4 J. is the -f Part of a Pound. 

 155. is the •!• Part of a Pound. 



When, therefore, you are to multiply any of thefe 

 aliquot Parts of a Pound with any Sum, you need 

 not reduce, as the Method is too conimon, but 

 divide by that Fradion. 



For Inftance, fappofing that one Rod of Digging 

 coft 9 J. what will 7^ Rod coft ? Now, 9 d. beipg
