138. Divide 46 rd. 12 ft. 8 in. by 4.

Operation.

4)46 rd. 12 ft. 8 in.

11 rd. 11 ft. 5 in.

Explanation.

This means, find 1 fourth of 46 rd. 12 ft. 8 in.

One fourth of 46 rd. is 11 rd. with a remainder of 2 rd.; 2 rd. equal 33 ft.; 33 ft. plus 12 ft. equal 45 ft. One fourth of 45 ft. equals 11 ft. with a remainder of 1 ft.; 1 ft. equals 12 in.; 12 in. plus 8 in. equals 20 in.

One fourth of 20 in. equals 5 in.

One fourth of 46 rd. 12 ft. 8 in. equals 11 rd. 11 ft. 5 in.

PROBLEM.
