The process is usually written down as follows: Determine the value of 3 cwt. 3 qrs. 27 lbs. 15 oz. 12 drs., at £7 per cwt. The previous example will be a guide for this, and the process will present no difficulty : : 3 cwt. 3 qrs. 27 lbs. 15 oz. 12 drs. If the expenses of making 69 yds. 2 ft. 11 in. of ditching be £1, how many yards would £25. 19s. 5d. pay for? Since for £1 69 yds. 2 ft. 11 in. are done, for £25. 19s 5d. we shall have made £25. 19s. 5d. × 69 yds. 2 ft. 11 in., which operation can be performed as the preceding. Sufficient has been said to show the principle of this method, and the pupil will acquire readiness and dexterity in it by solving the following problems : 253. MISCELLANEOUS EXERCISES. 1.
