D. 1. 167 is of what number?

Solution. If 167 is of some number, of that number must be of 167, which is 553, and § or the number must be 5 times 553. 5 times 55 are 275, and 5 times are, or 3, which

E. 1. How many are 9 times 268?

Solution. 92689 × 200 + 9 × 60+ 9 × 8=1800 +540+72

= 2412.

2. How many are 7 × 327? 3. How many are 4 X 813? 4. How many are 8 × 612? 5. How many are 6 × 348? 6. How many are 8 X 465?

5 X 861? 9 × 468?

F. 1. 1396
Solution. 1396

how many times 4?

4:

300+40 +9= 349.

12004160÷4+36 ÷ 4

Another Solution. 4 is contained in 1200, 300 times, in 160, 40 times, and in 36, 9 times. Therefore, 1396 = 349 times 4.

Another Solution. 4 is contained in 1300, 400 times with a remainder of 1 hundred, or 10 tens, which added to 9 tens make 19 tens. 4 is contained in 19 tens, 4 tens times with a remainder of 3 tens, or 30 units, which added to 6 units are 36 units. 4 is contained in 36, 9 times. Therefore, 1396 349 times 4.

NOTE. The only object of the above forms of solution is to explain the nature of the process; when that is well understood, the explanation should be dropped, and results only named. Thus, in performing the above division, the pupil need only say, "4 is contained in 1396, 3 hundreds 4 tens and 9 units times, or 349 times." After a little practice in this way, the final result may be named at once. Thus, 1396 = 349 times 4."

G. 1. 2 cwt. 1 qr. 23 lb. = how many pounds? Solution. Since 1 cwt. = 4 qr., 2 cwt. must equal 2 times 4 qr., or 8 qr., to which adding 1 qr., we have 9 qr. as the value of 2 cwt. 1 qr. Since 1 qr. =28 lb., 9 qr. must equal 9 times lb., to which adding 23 lb., we have 275 lb. Therefore, 2 cwt. 1 qr. 23 lb. = 275 lb.
