Ans. 14322 qrs.

Illustration. We multiply the £14 by 20, the number of shillings in £1, adding in the 18s. which make 298s. Then as 1s. is equal to 12d. we multiply the 298s. by 12, adding in the 4d., which makes 3580 pence. Then

as 1d. is equal to 4 farthings we multiply the 3580 pence

by 4, adding in the 2 farthings, and the answer is 14322

farthings.

We divide the farthings by 4, because 4 farthings are eqal to 1 penny, and the quo

remainder 2qrs. Then because 12d. make 1 shilling, we divide the 3580 pence by Ans. £14 18s. 4d. 2qrs. 12, and the quotient is 298 shillings, and the remainder 4 pence. Then as 20 shillings make 1 pound, we divide the 298 shilling by 20, and the quotient is £14, and the remainder 18s.; and the last quotient, with the several remainders, constitutes the an

swer.

Note. It will be seen that this Example proves the preceding one: thus the 2d example proves the 1st, the 4tb proves the 3d, and the 6th proves the 5th, and so on. 3. Reduce £94 5s. 6d. to pence.

6. In 6300 pints of cider, how many barrels ?

(Direction. First reduce 6300 pints to quarts for a divi

8. In 504 bottels of cider, each containing 6 gills, how many barrels ?

4. In 1023040 rods, how many degrees?

1023040÷40=25576÷8=3197÷691=46.

Note. When the divisor is a mixed number, that is, a whole number joined with a fraction,,, &c., we must reduce the divisor to halves, or fourths, &c., and reduce the dividend to the same; then dividing gives the true quotient. Thus, in this example, the rods being divided by 40, and that quotient by 8, we have 3197 miles; then 69 miles = 139 half-miles, the divisor; and 3197 miles=6394 halfmiles, the dividend.
