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.
100 fanegadas = _x_ 1 fanegada = 48215 square feet 124620 square ft. = 1 dessaetina Result 38,69 dessaetinas.

The following example will shew in what manner the proportion between the itinerary measures of any two given countries may be ascertained.
Reduce 1 myriametre new French measure into miles of England.
The length of the myriametre being 32797 English feet, and that of the mile 5280, I state the following equation:
1 myriametre = _x_ 1 myriametre = 32797 feet 5280 feet = 1 mile Result 6,21 miles.
