Σελίδα 10 - As the units of wood measure form a scale of tens, only one decimal place is needed for each denomination. Thus, 7 dekasters 5 sters 6 decisters are written 75.6 sters. 439. Examples for the Slate. • 36. Express the following in cubic meters and add them: 7 cu. meters 40 cu. decimeters; 5 cu. meters 3 cu. decimeters 19 cu. centimeters; 25 cu. centimeters 49 cu. millimeters. 37. How many cubic meters of earth must be removed to dig a cellar 14.5 m long, 4.6 m wide, and 2.3 m deep? 38. At $ 1.25...

Σελίδα 12 - WEIGHTS. 445. The primary unit of weight is the gram.. 446. A gram is the weight of one cubic centimeter of pure water at the temperature of 4 degrees centigrade ( = 39.2 degrees Fahrenheit), at which temperature water has its greatest density. 447. Larger and smaller weights are derived from the gram by taking decimal multiples and subdivisions.
Σελίδα 20 - The rule for finding the specific weight of any solid or liquid by calculation is : divide the weight of a given volume of the substance by the weight of an equal volume of water ; the quotient is the specific weight sought.
