Directions for the calculation of Lesson 4. Place the £35 12s. 6d. on your slates as you see it on the Card, with 19 before it for a divisor-Then seek how many times 19 in 35-say 1; set 1 off at the right hand for a quotient; this is 1 pound, because you can have once 19

in 35.

Now multiply 19 the divisor, by 1 and place the product under 35-subtract— the remainder is 16-This is 16 pounds to be multiplied by 20 to bring it into shillings, and the 12s. must be added in the product, which will make 332s.

Thus, 0 times 6 is 0, but 2 in the 12s. makes 2; set 2 in the place of units.

Then, twice 6 are 12, and 1 in the 12s. above makes 13; set 3 in the place of tens-carry 1.

Then, twice 1 makes 2 and 1 I carried makes 3; set another 3 in the place of hundreds. Thus you have for a product, 332s.

How many times 19 in 332? First seek how many times 19 in 33? say 1-place 1 off at the right for a quotientmultiply 19 by 1-place the product under 33-subtract— the remainder is 14.

Bring down the 2 to the right side of 14, makes 142seek how many times 19 in 142-7 times-place 7 on the right of 1 in the quotient. This makes 17s.

Now multiply 19 by 7-place the product under 142subtract—the remainder is 9s. to be reduced to pence. Multiply 9 by 12, the number of pence in a shilling, and bring in the 6d. of the given sum above, makes 114 pence.

Again; how many times 19 in 114? 6 times-place 6 off at the right for a quotient-this is 6 pence-Multiply 19 by 6-place the product under 114-subtract, and nothing remains,

RECAPITULATION.

In the first quotient you had 1 pound; in the second, 17 'shillings, and in the third, 6 pence.

These make for an answer, £1 17 6..

Pounds.

How many times 23 in 179? 7 times -place 7 in the quotient for pounds.

Multiply 23 by 7-place the product under 179-subtract-the remainder is 18 pounds to be reduced to shillings, to which add the 17s. in the given sum, as in Lesson 4. This reduction will make 377s.

How many times 23 in 377? seek first how many times 23 in 37-1; set 1 in the quotient.

Multiply 23 by 1-place the product under 37-subtract-the remainder is 14-bring down the 7 makes

How many times 23 in 147? 6 times-place 6 in the quotient-this makes 16s.

Multiply 23 by 6-place the quotient under 147-subtract-the remainder is 9s. to be reduced to pence; multiply 9 by 12, the number of pence in a shilling, and add

to the product the 7 pence in the given sum above: this operation makes 115 pence.

Now, how many times 23 in 115? 5 times-place 5 in the quotient; this makes 5 pence. Multiply 23 by 5place the product under 115-subtract-the remainder is 0.

RECAPITULATION.

Your first quotient was £7; the second 16s. and the third 5d.—making in the whole, for an answer, £7 16 5.

LESSON 6.

Bought 26 watches for £239 4 0, what did each one.

Pounds.

How many times 26 in 239? 9 timesset 9 in the quotient for pounds; multiply 26 by 9-place the product under 239-subtract-the remainder is £5 to be multiplied by 20 to reduce it into shillings, and at the same time add in the 4 shillings in the given sum, which "makes 104s.

Shillings.

How many times 26 in 104?-4 times--place 4 in the quotient for shillings and multiply 26 by 4—place the product under 104-subtract-nothing remains.

Thus you have in the first quotient £9, and in the second 4s.: making for an answer £9 4s. the price of each watch.

RECAPITULATION.

The first quotient was £14, the second is 15s., which make for an answer £ 14 15s.
