...Annex to the 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...

...thus, 61-3 42-012 19-288 MULTIPLICATION. 46- To multiply one decimal by another multiply the figures an in whole numbers, and point off as many decimal places in the product as there are in the multiplier and multiplicand together. Ex. 51-3x4-6 = 235-98. 513 46 23598...

...gentleman has -831 25Z. a-day, how much is that a-year? Ans. 303/. 8s. l^d. DIVISION OF DECIMALS. RULE. Divide as in whole numbers, and point off as many decimal places in the quotient as the dividend has more than the divisor. NOTE 1. If there are not as many decimal places in the quotient...

...by the 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...

...Ans. 101-6064. Multiply -83125 by the number of clays in a year. Ans. 303-40625. DIVISION OF DECIMALS. Divide as in whole numbers, and point off as many decimal places in the quotient, as the dividend has more than the divisor.* * If there .ire not as many decimal places in the quotient...

...by the 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...

...Tffisff X 33258 — 3.3258. From either of these solutions we derive the following RULE. — Multiply as in whole numbers, and point off as many decimal places in the product as there are in loth multiplicand and multiplier, prefixiny ciphers if necessary. 2. Multiply...

...following RULE. To divide decimal fractions : Divide as in wholt numbers. If the divisor is a whole number, point off as many decimal places in the quotient as there are decimal places in the dividend. If the divisor is not a whole number, make it a whole number before...
