WRITTEN EXERCISES.

1. A began business with $6000 capital. At the end of 6 months he took in B as a partner, who furnished $5000 additional capital. If the gain, after 6 months more, was $3400, what was each partner's share of the gain?

ANALYSIS.-A's capital of $6000 was used for 12 months, and was therefore equal to the use of $72000 for 1 month. B's capital of $5000 was used for 6 months, which was equal to the use of

$30000 for 1 month. Both together had invested sums of money which were equal to the use of $102000 for 1 month, of which A contributed a sum equal to $72000 for 1 month, or 72, and he was therefore entitled to 2 of the gain, or $2400. B contributed a sum equal to $30000 for 1 month, or, and was therefore entitled tʊ 1 of the gain, or $1000.

DEFINITIONS.

474. Ratio is the relation of one number to another of the same kind.

1. This relation is expressed either as quotient of one number divided by the other, and is called Geometrical Ratio, or simply Ratio, or, as the difference between two numbers, and is called Arithmetical Ratio.

2. When it is required to determine what the relation of one number to another is, it is evident that the first is the dividend, and the second the divisor.

3. When it is required to determine the relation between two numbers, cither may be regarded as dividend or divisor.

4. The first number is commonly regarded as the dividend.

475. The Terms of a Ratio are the numbers compared.

476. The Antecedent is the first term.

Thus, in "What is the ratio of 6 to 8?" 6 is the antecedent.

477. The Consequent is the second term.
Thus, in "What is the ratio of 6 to 8?" 8 is the consequent.

478. The Sign of ratio is a colon (:).

Thus, the ratio of 12 to 6 is expressed, 12: 6.

The colon (:) is sometimes regarded as the sign of division without the line. Thus, 12 8 is regarded as 128.

479. The antecedent and consequent together form a Couplet.

480. PRINCIPLES.-1. The terms of a ratio must be like numbers.

2. The ratio is an abstract number.

3. Multiplying or dividing both terms of a ratio by the same number does not change the ratio of the numbers.
