This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1918 Excerpt: ... with a remainder less than one inch; but when i inch is chosen as a unit the measure may come out exactly 31. The length is 31 quarter-inches, or 7% in.; or Illustration 3. The unit chosen, one inch, may be contained in a given segment 3 times with a remainder less than one inch; a smaller unit, .1 in., maybe contained in the segment 32 times with a remainder less than.1 in.; a still smaller unit, .01 in., may be contained in the segment 324 times with a remainder less than.01 in.; but the unit.001 in. may be contained exactly 3247 times. The length of the segment is 3247 thousandths of an inch, or, as it is usually written, 3.247 in. Third: It may happen that no subdivision of the unit can be found that will measure the segment exactly. In such a case we may obtain an approximate measure. By subdividing the unit used the approximation may be made as close as desired. Illustration 4. The unit chosen, one inch, may be contained in the given segment 5 times with a remainder less than one inch. In this case 5 would be an approximate length of the segment. If we choose.1 in. as a unit, it may be contained in the given segment 56 times with a remainder less than.1 in. We now have 5.6 in. as an approximate length. But if we should choose.01 in. as a unit, we could get a still closer approximation. It might happen that.01 in. would be contained in the segment 562 times with a remainder less than.01 in. The approximate length is now 5.62 in. This process might be continued indefinitely. 196. In actual practice an exact measurement can never be obtained. We cannot be sure that a segment is exactly 7 in. or 7J in. long. In trying to measure the segment, the end will fall between two marks on the scale. Either of these gives an approximation to the length of the segmen.
