...ciphers to the numerator as may be necessary, and divide it by the denominator. Note.-— There must be as many decimal places in the quotient as there are ciphers annexed to the numerator. When a compound fraction is given, first reduce it to aTsingle one, and then to a...

...numerator as many decimal* as may be thought necessary ; then divide by the denominator, and point off as many decimal places in the quotient, as there are ciphers annexed. If there be not so many figures in the quotient as are requisite, the defect must be supplied by prelixing...

...denominator, continuing the operation until there is no remainder, or as far as is desirable. Point off as many decimal places in the quotient as there are ciphers annexed to the numerator. Ex. 1. Reduce f to a decimal fraction. | X 1000 = ¿%uu = 625 ; and 625 4- 1000 =...

...denominator, continuing the operation until there is no remainder, or as far as is desirable. Point off as many decimal places in the quotient as there are ciphers annexed to the numerator. 2. Reduce f to a decimal fraction. % X 1000 == ajyui — 375 ; and 375 H- 1000 =...

...denominator, continuing the operation until there is no remainder, or as far as is desirable. Point off' as many decimal places in the quotient as there are ciphers annexed to the numerator. 2. Reduce f to a decimal fraction. i X 1000 = ao/a = 375 ; and 375 -4- 1000 = .375,...

...5T|j. Ans. ^g'g. RULE. — I. Annex ciphers to the numerator, and divide ty the denominator. II. Point off as many decimal places in the quotient as there are ciphers annexed. NOTE. — In many cases the division will not terminate, and the common fraction cannot then be exactly...

...equivalent Decimal Fraction, by dividing its numerator with ciphers annexed, by its denominator, and making as many decimal places in the quotient as there are ciphers annexed; thus, | = 10-=-2=:5. ANALYSIS IST. — 3=30 tenths-j-8 gives 3 tenths and 6 tenths remaining; 0 tenths...

...denominator, continuing the operation until there is no remainder, or as far as is desirable. Point off as many decimal places in the quotient as there are ciphers annexed to the numerator, 2. Reduce | to a decimal. i X 100 ^ z%s.= 75 ; and 75 -:- 100 = .75 Ans. 3. Reduce...

...denominator, continuing the operation until there if no remainder, or as far as is desirable. Point*off as many decimal places in the quotient as there are ciphers annexed to the numerator. 2. Reduce J to a decimal fraction. | X 1000 = a-°/a = 375 ; and 375 -=- 1000 = .375,...

...numerator by the denominator, annexing as many ciphers to the numerator as may be necessary. Point off as many decimal places in the quotient as there are ciphers annexed to the numerator. Reduce j to a decimal. 4)100 Observe 2 ciphers added. '25 Ans. 2 decimals cut off....
