Note. The interval or space of time between two given dates is thus found :-Set the prior date under the subsequent date; and when the lower number of days is greater than the apper, take it from as many days as are in the month of the prior date, add the difference to the upper number, and set down the amount; then carry one to the months of the prior date, and subtract as in the foregoing examples.

Y. mo. da.

1808 9 18 subsequent date.

1789 8 20 prior date.

Ans. 19 0 29

20. A person was born on the 18th of the 5th month, (May,) 1781. What was his age on the 12th of the 7th month, (July,) 1808. Ans. 27 Y. 1 mo. 25 D.

COMPOUND MULTIPLICATION.

Compound Multiplication is the multiplying of any sum or quantity which consists of divers denominations. When the multiplier does not exceed 12, work by

RULE 1.

Multiply the several denominations of the given sum or quantity, one after another, beginning with the lowest: if the product of either of them be not equal to one or more of the next higher denomination, set it lown but if it be, reduce it to that denomination, and dd the number it contains thereof to the product of the ame; and so proceed. If, on reducing the product of ny denomination, there be a remainder, it must be laced under that denomination.

PROOF.

Double the multiplicand, and multiply by half the ultiplier.

When the multiplier exceeds 12, and is the product of two factors in the multiplication table, work by

RULE 2.

Multiply the given sum by one of said factors, and then multiply the product by the other factor. Proof: Change the factors.

When the multiplier is not the exact product of any two factors in the multiplication table, work by

RULE 3.

Use those two factors whose product is the least short of the multiplier; then multiply the given sum by the number which supplies the deficiency, and add its product to the sum produced by the two factors.

When the multiplier is greater than the product of any two factors in the multiplication table, work by

RULE 4.

Multiply continually by as many tens less one, as there are figures in the multiplier; then multiply the last product by the left hand figure of the multiplier, (if) greater than 1;) again, multiply the given sum by the units figure of the multiplier, the product of the first

ten by the tens figure, the product of the second ten (if any) by the hundreds figure, &c.; then add the products of these several figures together, and their amount will be the product required.
