SECTION VI.

DENOMINATE NUMBERS.

237. A Denominate Number is a concrete number in which the unit is a measure; as 3 feet, 4 pounds, etc.

238. A Measure is a unit by which quantity of magnitude or continuous quantity is estimated numerically; as, a yard, a pound, etc.

239. A Compound Number is a number which expresses several different units of the same kind of quantity; as, 4 yd. 2 ft. 11 in.

240. The Terms of a compound number are the numbers of its different units. Thus the terms in the example

given are 4 yd., 2 ft., and 11 in.

241. Similar Compound Numbers are compound numbers which express the same kind of quantity.

242. Denominate Numbers may be embraced under eight distinct classes, as follows:

1. Value.

2. Weight.

3. Length.

4. Surface.

5. Volume.

6. Capacity.
7. Time.

8. Angles.

NOTE.-Concrete numbers are of two classes: 1st, those in which the unit is natural; 2d, those in which it is artificial. Natural units are such as exist in nature, and artificial units are those which are agreed upon to measure quantity of magnitude. The latter are called denominate numbers.

MEASURES OF VALUE.

243. The Value of anything is its worth, or that property which makes it useful or estimable.

244. Money is the measure of the value of things. It is of two kinds, coin and paper money.

245. Coin, or Specie, is metal prepared and authorized by government to be used as money.
