The following examples will shew in what manner the proportion between the land measures of any two given countries may be ascertained.
Examples.
It is required to reduce 100 dessaetinas of Russia into fanegadas of Spain.
The dessaetina measuring 124620 square feet of England, and the fanegada 48215, according to the [table] prefixed, I state the following equation:
| 100 | dessaetinas = x | |||
| 1 | dessaetina | = | 124620 | square feet |
| 48215 | square ft. | = | 1 | fanegada |
| Result 258,47 fanegadas. | ||||
Reduce 100 fanegadas into dessaetinas.
