Examples. It is required to reduce 100 metres new measure of France into feet of Hamburgh. The French metre measuring 472,27 English lines, and the Hamburgh foot 135,30, according to the table prefixed, I state the following equation: | 100 | | metres = x | | 1 | | metre | = | 472 |,27 | lines | | 135 |,30 | lines | = | 1 | | foot | | Result 349,05 feet. | Reduce 100 feet of Hamburgh into metres of France. | 100 | | feet = x | | 1 | | foot | = | 135 |,30 | lines | | 472 |,27 | lines | = | 1 | | metre | | Result 28,65 metres. |
