Σελίδα 164 - The product of the sum and difference of two quantities is equal to the difference of their squares.
Σελίδα 373 - Moon as 35 : 31, having given that the mass of Jupiter is 343 times that of the Earth, and that the Moon's period is 27'32 days. 22. The consumption of coal by a locomotive varies as the square of the velocity ; when the speed is 16 miles an hour the consumption of coal per hour is 2 tons : if the price of coal be 10».
Σελίδα 260 - B's. B and C together contributed $325. How much did each contribute ? 51. A grocer sold 80lb. of mace and l0Olb. of cloves for <£65 ; but he sold 60 pounds more of cloves for £20 than he did of mace for £10. What was the price of a pound of each ? 52.
