...ninths of it : how many feet did he lose? 131. We have seen that multiplying by a whole number is taking the multiplicand as many times as there are units in the multiplier. (Art. 45.) On the other hand, If the multiplier is only a part of a unit, it is plain we must lake... | |

...multiplicand three times : thus 3 times 4, or 4+4+4=12, &c. Hence, Multiplying by any whole number is taking the multiplicand as many times as there are units in the multiplier. Note. — The application of this principle to fractional multipliers will be illustrated under fractions.... | |

...of it : how many feet did he lose ? 131. We have seen that multiplying by a whole number is taking the multiplicand as many times as there are units in the multiplier. (Art. 45.) If, therefore, the multiplier is only apart of a unit, it is plain we must take only apart... | |
