COMPOUND DIVISION is the dividing of different denominations. InPounds,Shill.Pence, Farthings. CASE 1. quan 1. WHEN the divisor, that is, the tity does not exceed 12, begin at the highest denomination, and in the manner of short division, find how many times the divisor is contained in it, place the quotient under its own de nomination, and if any thing remain, reduce it to the next less denomina tion, and divide as before; so proceed through all the denominations. 2. If the quantity exceed 12, and there be any two numbers, which multiplied together will produce it, divide the price first by one of those numbers, and this quotient by the other. In Dollars, Cents, Mills. IN ALL CASES. DIVIDE the price by the quantity, and point off so many places for cents and mills in the product as there are places of cts. and mills in the dividend. that is, produced by the multiplication IF the quantity be a composite number, of two numbers, the operation may be varied by dividing the price first by one of those numbers and this quotient by the other. EXAMPLES. 1. Ir 5 yards of cloth cost Dolls. 12, 25, what is that her yard? OPERATION. D. Cts. 5) 12, 25 Ans. 2, 4 5 two places for THERE are two decimal places in the dividend. I, therefore, point off decimals, or cents in FINDING I cannot have the divisor the quotient. (5) in the first denomination (£.3) I reduce it to shillings, (60) and add in the 13 shillings, which make 73 shillings, in which the divisor (5) is contained 14 times, and 3 remain; I set down the 14 and the remainder (3 shillings) reduced to pence (36) and the 6d. added make 42 pence in which the divisor is contained 8 times and two remain; I set down the 8, and reduce the 2 pence to farthings (8) in which I 16,06 what is that per yard? have the divisor once (1 gr. or d.) and a remainder of of a farthing, which being of small value is neglected. 2. IF 48 yards of cloth cost £.4 16s. 41d. what is that per yard? Ans. O 2s. 2. Ir 48 yards of cloth cost Dolls. Ans. Dolls. 0,33. |
