Answer

1 chaldron = $\frac{9}{10}$ weys 1 bag = $\frac{3}{40}$ weys 1 pottle = $\frac{1}{640}$ weys 1 gill = $\frac{1}{120,240}$ weys If you convert these fractions into decimals, remember to keep them to 3 significant figures.

Work Step by Step

Chaldron Row We are given that 1 wey = $\frac{10}{9}$ chaldrons Thus 1 chaldron = $\frac{9}{10}$ weys Bag Row We are given that 1 wey = $\frac{40}{3}$ bags Thus 1 bag = $\frac{3}{40}$ weys Pottle Row We are given that 1 wey = 640 pottles Thus 1 pottle = $\frac{1}{640}$ weys Gill Row We are given that 1 wey = 120,240 gill Thus 1 gill = $\frac{1}{120,240}$ weys
