Thus, five, fifteen (meaning five ones, fifteen ones), five apples, fifteen trees, six bushels, three yards, are simple numbers. 189. A Simple Denominate Number is a simple number whose unit is used as a measure (191) of that number. Thus, 5 dollars, 11 miles, 10 acres are denominate numbers, because 1 dollar, 1 mile, 1 acre, are respectively exact divisors, or measures of those numbers. 190. A Compound Denominate Number, sometimes called a Compound Number, consists of two or more properly related simple denominate numbers taken together. Thus, 5 yards, 3 feet; 3 quarts, 2 pints, 1 gill; 1 mile, 7 furlongs; are compound denominate numbers. 191. A Measure of a denominate number is a standard unit, with which we compare the number, and thus determine its numerical value, weight, or size. Thus, the measure of United States money is the dollar ($); of English Money, the pound (£); of wood, the cord; &c.; &c. |
