Between New Orleans and New York? 22. Between Mexico and Paris?† * From the American Almanac and New American Cyclopedia. †The difference of latitude between places on opposite sides of the equator is found by adding the latitudes. The difference of longigitude between places on opposite sides of the first meridian is found by adding the longitudes. If their sum exceeds 180°, the difference of longtude equals 360° minus that sum. 23. Between Constantinople and Chicago? 24. Between Canton and San Francisco? For Dictation Exercises, see Key. 207.

The fraction cwt. may be changed to quarters, or the & qr. may be changed to parts of a cwt., and then addition can be performed. In the first case, the answer will be in qr. ; in the second, in cwt. Another excellent method is first to reduce both fractions to integers of lower denominations, if necessary (Art. 198), and then add. Thus, EXAMPLES. 13s. 4d. 12 63, Ans.

Multiply the number of the lowest denomination by the multiplier, and divide the product thus obtained by the number it takes of that denomination to make one of the next higher; write the remainder under the term multiplied, and add the quotient with the product of the next higher denomination; and thus continue till all the terms of the multiplicand are multiplied, 3. 20 T. 16 cwt. 4 lb. 15 oz.

As the earth turns upon its axis once in 24 hours, it follows of 360°, or 15° of longitude, must pass under the sun in 1 of 15°, or 15', must pass under the sun in 1 min. of of 15', or 15," must pass under the sun in 1 sec. of hour, and time, and time; or, in a TABULAR FORM. 15° of longitude make a difference of 1 hour in time. Hence, to find the difference of longitude between any two places: Multiply the difference of time between the two places, expressed in hours, minutes and seconds, by 15. The product will express the number of degrees, minutes and seconds required. NOTE. - As the earth turns from west to east, sunrise occurs earlier in places east and later in places west of any given point. Hence the time is later in all places east, and earlier in all places west, of any given point than it is at that point. |
