248. To find of 75 splints, take 7 tens and 5 ones, and divide them into 5 equal piles. Each pile will contain of the 75. How shall we proceed to make the 5 piles?

5) 75

15

of 7 tens = 1 ten for each pile, but there are 2 tens left out. 2 tens and 5 ones 5 25 ones. of 25 ones= ones for each pile. Hence each pile has 1 ten + 5 ones, or 15 splints.

1. Divide 738 by 6.

6) 738

7 hundreds ÷ 6

1 hundred, and 1 hundred remain

ing.

123

The remainder 1 hundred equals 10 tens, which with the 3 tens makes 13 tens.

13 tens ÷ 62 tens, and 1 ten remaining. 1 ten and 8 ones = ones. 18 ones ÷ 6 3 ones.

Explain this division by using splints.

2. Divide 375 by 5.

5) 375

75

18

Since 3 does not contain 5, we take the 3 hundreds or 30 tens and put them with the 7 tens, making 37 tens. Then 37 tens÷ 5 = 7 tens, and 2 tens remaining. The 2 tens or 20 ones put with the 5 ones make 25 ones. 25 ones÷ 5 = 5 ones.

Then how many cents make a dollar?

10 cents make 1 dime.

10 dimes, or 100 cents, make 1 dollar.

One dollar is written $1, or $1.00. The sign $ is called

the dollar mark, and is placed before the figures expressing dollars. Four dollars and twenty-five cents is written $4.25. The dot after the $4 in $4.25 means that the two figures on the right stand for cents, and the figures on the left stand for dollars. This dot is called the decimal point.

Two dollars and fifty cents. One dollar and twenty-five cents. One dollar. Five dollars and forty cents. Eight dollars and five cents. Ten dollars and seventy-five cents. Six dollars and two cents. Nine dollars and fifteen cents.

252. When there are no dimes or cents we do not need to use the dot unless we write ciphers in the place of dimes and cents.

When there are no dollars to write we place the dot

between the dimes and the dollar mark.

Write in figures:

Thirty dollars. One hundred five dollars. Four hundred ten dollars. Five hundred dollars. Twenty-five cents. Sixty cents. Ten cents. Five cents. Thirty cents. One cent. Eighty-eight cents.
