The reduction of metric numbers may be effected by the following principles: Prin. 1.—A metric number may be reduced to a lower denomination by moving the decimal point one place to the right for each decrease in the denomination. Thus, 64.416 644.161. 64416 cl, etc. Prin. 2.-A metric number may be reduced to a higher denomination by moving the decimal point one place to the left for each increase in the denomination. 634.5 dm. D1. cm. = = 6441.6 al. Thus, 6345 These principles do not apply to the tables of square and cubic measure. In these tables the decimal point must be moved = 63.45 m. = = Dm. 6.345 etc. " two places for each change in the denomination of square meas ure, and three places for each change in the denomination of cubic measure. Thus, 45.6747 8q. Dm. Reduce = = 4567.47 sq.m. 148 cu. mm. = .148 ca. cm. = .000148 cu. dm., etc. 456747 sq. dm.

ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION, AND DIVISION OF METRIC NUMBERS. 317. If metric numbers be reduced to decimals of the same denomination, they may be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided as ordinary denominate decimals. WRITTEN EXERCISES. 1.
