Rule of thirds which the two other thirds should go for the sky and aerial perspectives. This rule would likewise apply in breaking a length of wall, or any other too great continuation of line that it may be found necessary to break by crossing or hiding it with some other object : In short, in applying this invention, generally speaking, or to any other case, whether of light, shade, form, or color, I have found the ratio of about two thirds to one third, or of one to two, a much better and more harmonizing proportion, than the precise formal "half", the
Fraction (mathematics) follows: To add fractions containing unlike quantities (e.g. quarters and thirds), it is necessary to convert all amounts to like quantities. It is easy to work out the chosen type of fraction to convert to; simply multiply together the two denominators (bottom number) of each fraction. In case of an integer number apply the invisible denominator formula_90 For adding quarters to thirds, both types of fraction are converted to twelfths, thus: Consider adding the following two quantities: First, convert formula_93 into fifteenths by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by three: formula_94. Since formula_95 equals 1, multiplication by formula_95 does
