Mile mi. lights to railway (3 x 1760) crossing 1 mi. = ______ in. 2 Seciton1.1_Imperial_Measurements_of_Length.notebook October 18, 2013 To Convert measurements from one unit to another we can use 2 methods: 1. Multiply or divide by the appropriate conversion factor. 2. Use Unit Analysis. Method 1: Multiply/Divide by Conversion Factor Smallest Unit Inch Foot Divide Yard Multiply Mile Largest Unit Therefore, To convert from a larger unit to a smaller unit, we multiply. To convert from a smaller unit to a larger unit, we divide. 3 Seciton1.1_Imperial_Measurements_of_Length.notebook October 18, 2013 Examples: 1. Convert A. 3 feet to inches B. 8 yards to feet 3 ft. x 12 in. 8 yd. x 3 ft. = 36 in. = 24 ft. C. 48 inches to feet D. 87 ft. to yd. 48 in. ÷ 12 in. 87 ft. ÷ 3 ft = 4 ft. = 29 yd. E. 288 in. to yd. 288 in. ÷ 36 in.= 8 yd. 2. Convert 61 in. to: A) feet and inches B) yards, feet, and inches 61 in. ÷ 12 in. = 5.083 ft. 61 in. ÷ 36 in. 1.694 yd. 0.083 ft. x 12 in. = 1 in. 0.964 yd x 3 ft. = 2.083 ft. 0.083 x 12 in. = 1 in.

    THE PORTUGUESE EXPEDITIONARY CORPS IN WORLD WAR I: FROM INCEPTION TO COMBAT DESTRUCTION, 1914-1918 Jesse Pyles, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2012 APPROVED: Geoffrey Wawro, Major Professor Robert Citino, Committee Member Walter Roberts, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pyles, Jesse, The Portuguese Expeditionary Corps in World War I: From Inception to Destruction, 1914-1918. Master of Arts (History), May 2012, 130 pp., references, 86. The Portuguese Expeditionary Force fought in the trenches of northern France from April 1917 to April 1918. On 9 April 1918 the sledgehammer blow of Operation Georgette fell upon the exhausted Portuguese troops. British accounts of the Portuguese Corps’ participation in combat on the Western Front are terse. Many are dismissive. In fact, Portuguese units experienced heavy combat and successfully held their ground against all attacks. Regarding Georgette, the standard British narrative holds that most of the Portuguese soldiers threw their weapons aside and ran. The account is incontrovertibly false. Most of the Portuguese combat troops held their ground against the German assault. This thesis details the history of the Portuguese Expeditionary Force. Copyright 2012 by Jesse Pyles ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The love of my life, my wife Izabella, encouraged me to pursue graduate education in history. This thesis would not have been possible without her support. Professor Geoffrey Wawro directed my thesis. He provided helpful feedback regarding content and structure. Professor Robert Citino offered equal measures of instruction and encouragement.

Price $1; (Add 25 percent additional for other than U.S. mailing). Stock No. 003-003-01654-3 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 76-600055 Foreword "Weights and Measures," said John Quincy Adams in 1821, "may be ranked among the necessaries of life to every individual of human society." That sentiment, so appropriate to the agrarian past, is even more appropriate to the technology and commerce of today. The order that we enjoy, the confidence we place in weighing and measuring, is in large part due to the measure- ment standards that have been established. This publication, a reprinting and updating of an earlier publication, provides detailed information on the origin of our standards for mass and length. Ernest Ambler Acting Director iii Preface to 1976 Edition Two publications of the National Bureau of Standards, now out of print, that deal with weights and measures have had widespread use and are still in demand.
