Try it and see. COMPOUND ADDITION, IS the adding of several numbers together, having dif ferent denominations, but of the same generic kind, as pounds, shillings and pence, &c. Tuns, hundreds, quarters, &c. RULE.-1. Place the numbers so that those of the same denomina tion may stand directly under each other. 2. Add the first column or denomination together, as in whole numbers; then divide the sum by as many of the same denomination as make one of the next greater; setting down the remainder under the column added, and carry the quotient to the next superior denomination, continuing the same to the last, which add, as in simple addition.* 1. STERLING MONEY, Is the money of account in Great-Britain, and is reckoned in Pounds, Shillings, Pence and Farthings. See the Pence Tables. *The reason of this rule is evident: For, addition of this money, as 1 in the pence is equal to 4 in the farthings; 1 in the shillings, to 12 in the pence; and 1 in the pounds, to 20 in the shillings; therefore carrying as directed, is the arranging the money, arising from each column, properly in the scale of denominations: and this reasoning will hold good in the addition of compound numbers of any denomination whatever. 12.
