Answer

The numbers in the chaldron column should be as follows: $\frac{10}{9}$ $1$ $\frac{1}{12}$ $\frac{1}{576}$ $\frac{1}{108~216}$

Work Step by Step

$1~wey = \frac{10}{9}~chaldron$ $1~chaldron = 1~chaldron$ $1~bag = \frac{3}{40}~wey = (\frac{3}{40})(\frac{10}{9}~chaldron) = \frac{1}{12}~chaldron$ $1~pottle = \frac{1}{640}~wey = (\frac{1}{640})(\frac{10}{9}~chaldron) = \frac{1}{576}~chaldron$ $1~gill = \frac{1}{120~240}~wey = (\frac{1}{120~240})(\frac{10}{9}~chaldron) = \frac{1}{108~216}~chaldron$ The numbers in the chaldron column should be as follows: $\frac{10}{9}$ $1$ $\frac{1}{12}$ $\frac{1}{576}$ $\frac{1}{108~216}$
