1. What advantage is gained by expressing fractions of a unit (of length, mass, or time) decimally instead of by means of a common fraction?

2. What is the mass, expressed in grams, of 1 cubic meter of water?

3. What is the mass (in grams) of a liter of water?

4. A how much longer distance is 100 meters than 100 yards? (Express your answer (1) in meters, (2) in centimeters, (3) in yards.)

5. If cloth were sold by the meter and the price per meter were the same as the price per yard, what would be the percentage of gain to the buyer?

6. The cyclometer of a bicycle records 1 mile for every 720 revolutions of the wheel. If it is to record kilometers, once in how many revolutions of the wheel must it be made to record? (Solve first by use of the approximate value of the mile given on p. 4. Then compute by use of Appendix I and find the error, in revolutions of the wheel, introduced by taking the approximate ratio.)

7. If in Fig. 4 (p. 6) the line ab be set to coincide with scale division 4, what will be the position of cd upon the scale?
