REDUCTION OF CURRENCIES TO FEDERAL

MONEY. Sums of this kind, which are too complicated to be done mentally, may be performed on the slate, by the following rules.

TO REDUCE BRITISH CURRENCY TO FEDERAL MONEY.

Reduce the sum to a decimal of the pound order, and di. vide the answer by do

The reason of this rule is, that a dollar is of a £ of this currency, and therefore there are as many dollars in the sum as there are ao in it.

Note. Before reducing any currency to Federal mo. ney, the sum must be reduced to a decimal of the pound or. der. After this process the following rules may be used.

TO REDUCE CANADA CURRENCY. As a dollar is $ of a £ in this currency, there will be as many dollars as there are 3 in the sum. Therefore Reduce the sum to the decimal of a £ and divide it by $.

TO REDUCE NEW ENGLAND CURRENCY. As 1 dollar is ,3 of a pound in this currency, so there are as many dollars in a sum of N. England currency as there are ,3 in it. Therefore Reduce the sum to the decimal of a £ and divide it by ,3.

TO REDUCE NEW YORK CURRENCY. As 1 dollar is ,4 of a pound in this currency, there will be as many dollars in a sum of New York currency, as there are ,4 in it. Therefore

Reduce the sum to the decimal of a £ and divide it by ,4.

TO REDUCE GEORGIA CURRENCY.

REDUCTION OF FEDERAL MONEY TO THE SEVERAL CURRENCIES.

To change a sum in federal money to the different currencies, the preceding process is reversed, and the sum is to be multiplied (instead of divided) by the several frac tions. The answer is found in pounds and decimals of a pound. The decimal can be reduced to units of the shil. ling and pence order by a previous rule. (p. 182.)

EXAMPLES.

1. Reduce 1s, 6d. in the several currencies to Federal money.

REDUCTION FROM ONE CURRENCY TO AN.

OTHER. The following table will enable the pupil to reduce a sum from one currency to another, with more facility than by any other method. Each fractional figure shows the relative value of a sum in one currency to the same sum in another currency.

For example, the in the second perpendicular and the fourth horizontal column, shows that £1 sterling is of the number which expresses the same value in New England currency. Thus £6 sterling is & of the number which expresses the same value in New England currency. That is, £6 is & of the answer to be obtained when the same value is expressed in New England currency. To find the answer, we reason thus. If £6 is three fourths, £2 is ,one fourth, and £8 is the answer : thus dividing by $. RULE FOR CHANGING A SUM IN ONE CURRENCY, TO THE

SAME VALUE IN ANOTHER CURRENCY. To change a sum in a currency written in the upper space to one written in the right hand space, divide by the fraction that stands where both spaces meet.

If there are shillings, pence and farthings in the sum, first reduce them to the decimal of a £.
