Page 18 - When the denominators are not alike we know that the units are divided into -unequal parts, so before adding them we must find a common denominator for the denominators of all the fractions. Reduce the fractions to fractions having this common denominator, add the numerators and write the sum over the common denominator. In this case, the least common denominator, or the least number that will contain all the denominators, is 16; hence, we must reduce all these fractions to sixteenths and then add...

Page 19 - When mixed numbers and whole numbers are to be added, add the fractional parts of the mixed numbers separately, and if the resulting fraction is an improper fraction, reduce it to a whole or mixed number. Next, add all the whole numbers, including the one obtained from the addition of the fractional parts, and annex to their sum the fraction of the mixed number obtained from reducing the improper fraction.

Page 3 - The temperature at which combustion takes place is always the same for the same substance. The nitrogen reduces the temperature of the furnace, since a portion of the heat given off by combustion is required to heat the nitrogen. (1213) No. See definition of combustion, Art. 2OO3.

Page 1 - ... into the tri-rectangular triangle. From one of the vertices A, let diagonals AC, AD, be drawn to all the other vertices ; the polygon ABCDE will be divided into as many triangles, minus two, as it has sides. But the surface of each triangle is measured by the sum of all its angles minus two right angles...
