SECTION XIV.

A. THIS section contains the division of fractions by whole numbers, and the multiplication of one fraction by another. Though these operations sometimes appear to be division, and sometimes multiplication, yet there is actually no difference in the operations.

The practical examples will generally show how the operations are to be performed, but it will be well to use the plate for young pupils.

1 and 2. In the second row, the 2d square is divided vertically into halves, and each of the halves is divided into halves by the horizontal line; } of { is therefore of the whole.

signify 9 pieces or parts, and it is evident that of 9 parts is 3 parts, that is 4.

43. We cannot take of 5 pieces, therefore we must take of, which is, and is 5 times as much as, therefore of is. This may be readily seen on the plate. In the sixth row, third square, find by the vertical division, then these being divided each into three parts by the horizontal division, and of each being taken, you will have

SECTION XV.

A. THIS section contains the divisions of whole numbers by fractions, and fractions by fractions.

5. 4 is3, and is 4. If a pound had cost a'r of a dollar, 14 pounds could be bought fort of a dollar, but since it costs, only as many can be bought; that is, 43 pounds.

9. is 16, and 1 is 5. If a bushel had cost of a dollar, 65 bushels might have been bought, but since it cost 18, only part as much could be bought; that is, 4 bushels.
