SUBTRACTION OF DENOMINATE NUMBERS.

EXERCISES.

1. From 2 mi. 116 rd. 4 yd. 0 ft. 4 in. take 1 mi. 120 rd. 2 yd. 1 ft. 8 in.

tract 8 in. from 4 in., we add to the 0 ft. one of the 4 yds.; 1 yd. 3 ft.; now having 3 ft., instead of 0 ft., we add to the 4 in. one of 16 in.; 16 in. — 8 in. — 8 in.

=

the 3 ft.; 1 ft.= 12 in.; 12 in. + 4 in.
Proceeding to the feet, we say, "1 ft. from 2 ft. leaves 1
to the yards, we say, "2 yd. from 3 yd. leaves 1 yd."
added to 116 rd. gives us 320 + 116
