COMPOUND ADDITION.

ART. 129. Compound Addition is the process of uniting two or more compound numbers in one sum.

Ex. 1. What is the sum of £2, 3s. 4d. 1 far.; £1, 6s. 9d. 3 far.; £7, 9s. 7d. 2 far.

Suggestion-First write the numbers under each other, pounds under pounds, shillings under shillings, &c. Then, beginning with the lowest denomination, we find the sum is 6 farthings, which is Ans. 11 " 0 equal to 1 penny and 2 far. over.

Write the 2 far. under

the column of farthings, and carry the 1d. to the column of pence. The sum of the pence is 21, which is equal to 1s. and 9d. Place the 9d. under the column of pence, and carry the 1s. to the column of shillings. The sum of the shillings is 20, which is equal to £1 and nothing over. Write a cipher under the column of shillings, and carry the £1 to the column of pounds. The sum of the pounds is 11, which is set down in full.

130. Hence, we derive the following general

RULE FOR COMPOUND ADDITION.

I. Write the numbers so that the same denominations shall stand under each other.

II. Beginning at the right hand, add each column separately, and divide its sum by the number required to make ONE of the next higher denomination. Setting the remainder under the column added, carry the quotient to the next column, and thus proceed as in Simple Addition. (Art. 23.)

PROOF. The proof is the same as in Simple Addition.

QUEST.-129. What is Compound Addition? 130. How do you write compound numbers for addition? Where do you begin to add, and how proceed 1 How is Compound Addition proved ?
