...versa. Thus -f are twice as much as Tt and 4- is but half as much. From this principle it follows, that if the numerator and denominator of a fraction be both multiplied, or both divided by the fame number, the value of the fraction will not be affecr.ed thereby ; becaufe, as much as the fraction... | |
