2 qt. under the 1 qt. in the dividend, and reduce 1 qt. to
pints = 2 pt. + the 1 pt. in the dividend = 3 pt. 3 -r- 12 =
I^or-pt
(116) We must first reduce 23 miles to feet before we
can divide by 30 feet. 1 mi. contains 5,280 ft. ; hence, 23
mi. contain 5,280 X 23 = 121,440 ft.
121,440 ft. -4- 30 ft. = 4,048 rails for 1 side of the track.
The number of rails for 2 sides of the track = 2 X 4,048,
or 8,096 rails. Ans.
In this case where both dividend and divisor are
(116)
compound, reduce each to the lowest denomination mentioned
in either and then divide as in simple numbers.
