EXPLANATION. + sign of addition, thus, 8 + 3 = 11^ signifies 8 added to 3 is equal to 1 1 : the expression is usually read Splus 3, equal 11. ♦-1-' sign of subtraction, thus 11— -5=6 signifies 5 subtracted from 11 leaves 6; the expression is usually read, 11 minus 5, equal 6. X sign of multiplication, thus 6X3=18, signifies 6 multiplied by 3 is equal to 18 ; this expression is usually read, 6 into 3, equal 18. --r si^ of division, thus 24-f-6=*4, signi- fies 24 divided by 6 is equal to 4. Division is also expressed by placing the divisor under the dividend, and drawing a line horizontally between them ; thus, ?=4 ; these expres- sions are usually read, 24 % 6, equal 4. 24 divided by ^ I w : : : sign of proportion, thus, G ; 8 : : 12 : 16, signifies that 6 bears the same pro- portion to 8, as 12 does to 16 this expres- fp 9 >/ sion is usually r^ud, aa 6 is to 8, so is 12 to 16. These marks of proportion are placed between the terms of any stating in the Rule of Three, : between the first and second terms, : : between the second and third, and : between the third and fourth.
