divide by 12, the number of pence in a shilling, and find the result to be 6 shillings and 4 pence, we set down the pence and carry the 6 shillings to the next product. We then say 9 times 5 shillings are 45 shillings, to these we add the 6 shillings, and the sum is 51 shillings, which are equal to 2 pounds and 11 shillings. We set down the 11 shillings, and carry the 2 pounds to the next product, and then say 9 times 14 pounds are 126 pounds, to these we add the 2 pounds, and the sum is 128 pounds, which we set down under the pounds in the multiplicand, and the work is finished, and the answer is £128. 11s. 4d. 2qr. Hence we perceive, that when the quantity is less than 12, we may adopt the following

RULE.

I. Multiply the pence by the quantity, and carry as in Compound Addition.

21. If 1 dollar will purchase 2lb. 83. 73. 19. 10gr. of ipecacuanha, what quantity would 9 dollars buy?

II. If the quantity be such as may be resolved into two or more factors, that is, two or more numbers, whose product shall be equal to the quantity, the price may be multiplied by 1 of those numbers, and the product by the other, and the last product will be the value of the whole. quantity.

In this question, we find the quantity 24 equal to the product of 4 and 6, we therefore multiply the price first by 4, and then that product by 6, and the last product is 6 the answer. Or we might have multiplied 0 first by 6 and then by 4, and the answer would have been the same.

In this question, we find the factors of 360 to be 6 and 6 and 10, that is, 6 multiplied by 6 is 36, and 36 multiplied by 10 make 360. We then first multiply by 6, and then that product by 6, O and then again the last product by 10. 10 The result would have been the same, 10 if we had multiplied by 10 first.

27. If a man travel 3m. 7fur. 18rds. in one day, how far would he travel in 30 days?

28. If a load of hay weigh 2 tons 7cwt. 3qr. 18lb., what would be the weight of 84 similar loads?

29. When it requires 7yds. 3qr. 2na. of silk to make a lady's dress, what quantity would be sufficient to make 72 similar dresses ?

30. A tailor has an order from the navy agent to make 132 garments for seamen; how much cloth will it take, supposing each garment to require 3yds. 2qr. Ina. ?

III. When the quantity is more than 12, and the number is such, that it cannot be resolved into two or more factors, the better method is to find the factors of a number nearest the given number, and having multiplied the price by one of these factors, and the product by the other factor, then find the value of the remaining quantity and add it to the last product.

31. If 1 dollar will buy 17lbs. 10oz. 13dr. of beef, how much may be bought for 62 dollars?

2 duct of any two num1 35 5 10 bers in the multiplication table, we take some convenient number less than 62, viz. 60. This we resolve into two factors 5 and 12, and having found the amount 6 of 60 dollars, we then find the quantity 2 dollars will buy, and add this amount to the former, and the sum is the quantity 62 dollars will buy.

Ans. £14. 5s. 8d. 2qr.

Having divided the pounds by 9, find the quotient to be £14, which we write under £ 128, and to 14 5 8 2 the £2. remaining (40s.) we add the 11s. in question, and their amount is 51s.; and these 51s. we again divide by 9, and the quotient is 5s., which we write under the 11s. in the question; and to the remainder 6s., which are 72d., we add the 4d. in the question, and the sum is 76d.; having again divided these by 9, we write the quotient 8 under the 4d. in the question; and to the remainder 4d. which is 16qr. we add the 2qr. in the question, and the amount is 18qr., which we again

divide by 9, and find the quotient to be 2qr., which we write under the 2qr. in the question. Thus we find our answer to the question to be £14. 5s. 8d. 2qr. Hence the following

RULE.

I. Divide the highest denomination by the quantity; and if any thing remains, reduce it to the next lower denomination, and continue to divide until it is reduced to the lowest denomination.
