PREFACE. 
 
 In arranging the work of this book, it has been the 
 author's aim to adhere to a proper order of topics, and 
 to treat each topic with proper fulness, not only with 
 reference to its business application, but also with regard 
 to its importance as a basis for more advanced study. 
 
 The oral, mental, written, and abstract work are arranged 
 in the relative order and proportion that naturally lead 
 pupils to a clear understanding of processes, as well as to 
 habits of rapid and accurate thinking. 
 
 Much time may be saved by early mastering the four 
 fundamentals, particularly column addition and long divis- 
 ion, frequent exercises in which occur throughout this 
 book. 
 
 Pupils often attempt to solve problems before they have 
 thought out the processes. This leads to erroneous re- 
 sults, loss of time, and discouragement. The practice of 
 first indicating processes by means of signs encourages 
 the pupil to do his thinking first ; moreover, it often 
 permits a very material shortening of the work by can- 
 cellation. A few pages of merely indicated work are in- 
 troduced, to emphasize the advantages of such operations. 
 
 The latter can be carried into the written work of the 
 book at the pleasure of the teacher.

iv PREFACE. 
 
 A few short methods, such as multiplying and dividing 
 by the aliquot parts of $1.00, and by the parts of 100 and 
 1,000, etc., are introduced. Pupils in the fifth year can 
 master them readily, and at a great saving of time. 
 
 Questions of relations (more fully explained in the body 
 of the book) will make plain a group of difficulties in 
 division of fractions and, later on, prove of great value 
 in percentage and its applications.

 Notation of Federal Money. 
 
 Federal Money is the currency of the United States. 
 
 10 mills = 1 cent. Mills are not coined. The smallest 
 coin used is the cent. Cents are written ct. or /. 
 
 100 cents = 1 dollar, written $1. When dollars and 
 cents are written together, a period, called the decimal 
 point, is placed between them. Thus, four dollars and 
 sixty-seven cents is written, $4.67. 
 
 The first two places at the right of the point are occu- 
 pied by cents, the third place by mills. 
 
 Nine cents four mills is written, $.094. 
 
 Four dollars sixty-five cents three mills is written, 
 $4.653.

 SUBTRACTION. 
 
 Subtraction is the process of finding the difference be- 
 tween two like numbers. 
 
 The Minuend is the number from which we subtract. 
 The Subtrahend is the number subtracted. 
 
 The result in subtraction is called the Difference or 
 Remainder. 
 
 How can you find the minuend when the subtrahend and 
 remainder are given ? (Illustrate.)

DIVISION. 15 
 
 DIVISION. 
 
 Division is the process of finding how many times one 
 number is contained in another. 
 
 The number divided is the Dividend. 
 
 The number by which the dividend is divided is the 
 Divisor. 
 
 The result of division is called the Quotient. 
 
 When the divisor is not exactly contained in the divi- 
 dend, the part of the dividend that is left is called the 
 Remainder. (Illustrate.) 
 
 The remainder and dividend are always like numbers. 
 (Illustrate.) 
 
 When the divisor is an abstract number, the dividend 
 and quotient are like numbers. (Illustrate.) 
 
 When the dividend and divisor are concrete, the quotient 
 is abstract. (Illustrate.) 
 
 The sign of division is -5-, and, when placed between two 
 numbers, signifies that the first is to be divided by the 
 second. As 12 ~- 3 = 4. 
 
 Division is also indicated by writing the dividend above, 
 and the divisor below, a dividing line. Thus, ^ = 4.

 SHORT DIVISION. 
 
 6)1974 Six is not contained in 1 (thousand), hence 
 329 we find how many times 6 is contained in 19 
 (hundreds), which is 3 (hundreds) times, with a remainder 
 of 1 (hundred). Write the 3 hundreds under the hundreds 
 of the dividend. Change the remainder 1 (hundred) to tens, 
 and add it to the seven (tens), making 17 (tens). Dividing 
 this by 6, we have 2 (tens) for a quotient, which is placed 
 under the tens in the dividend, and 5 (tens) for a remain- 
 der. Changing this remainder to ones, and adding the 4 
 (ones), we have 54 (ones), which, divided by 6, gives 9 
 (ones), which is placed under the ones in the dividend. 
 The quotient is 329. 
 
 Prove by multiplying the quotient by the 'divisor ; if it 
 equals the dividend, the work is right.

 15)1234 SOLUTION. 15 is not contained in 12 
 
 (hundreds), so we must include the tens. 
 15 is contained in 123 (tens) 8 (tens) times. 
 Multiplying 8 (tens) by the divisor, we have 
 120 (tens), and subtracting we have 3 (tens), 
 which, changed to ones and added to the 
 4 (ones) makes 34 (ones). 15 is contained in 34 (ones), 
 2 (ones) times. Multiplying 2 (ones) by the divisor, we 
 have 30 (ones), which, subtracted from 34 (ones), leaves 
 a remainder of 4 (ones). 4 (ones) divided by 15 is -^, 
 which is placed as part of the quotient. The entire quo- 
 tient is 82yV

 COMMON FRACTIONS. 
 
 A common fraction is written with two numbers, one 
 above the other, with a line between them : thus, f . 
 
 The number above the line is called the Numerator. 4 is 
 the numerator. 
 
 The number below the line is called the Denominator. 5 
 is the denominator. 
 
 The denominator shows the number of equal parts into 
 which the unit is divided. 
 
 The numerator shows how many of these equal parts are 
 taken. (Illustrate.) 
 
 The numerator and denominator are called the Terms of 
 a Fraction. 
 
 A Proper Fraction is a fraction whose value is less than 
 1. Its numerator is less than its denominator, as j. 
 
 An Improper Fraction is a fraction whose value is 1 or 
 more than !. Its numerator is equal to, or greater than, its 
 denominator. 
 
 | is an improper fraction because its value is 1. J is an 
 improper fraction because its value is more than 1. 
 
 An integer may be written in fractional form by giving 
 it 1 for a denominator. 
 
 A Mixed Number is an integer and fraction written 
 together. 3J and oj are mixed numbers. 
 
 Reduction of Fractions is the process of changing the 
 form without changing the value. 
 
 Multiplying both terms of a fraction by the same number 
 does not change its value. (Illustrate.) 
 
 Dividing both terms of a fraction by the same number 
 does not change its value. (Illustrate.) 
 
 To reduce a fraction to higher terms, multiply both terms 
 by the same number.

ADDITION OF FRACTIONS. 63 
 
 In how many ways may fractions be reduced? (Illus- 
 trate.) 
 
 ADDITION OF FRACTIONS. 
 Rule. 
 
 If the fractions are not like fractions, reduce them 
 to a common denominator ; add their numerators, and 
 write the sum over the common denominator. If neces- 
 sary, reduce the result to lowest terms. If an improper 
 fraction, reduce to an integer or mixed number. 
 
 To add mixed numbers, add the integers and fractions 
 separately, and unite the results. (Illustrate.)

 These statements placed in the form of questions would 
 be as follows : 
 
 (a) 3 times 4 = what ? Ans. 12. 
 
 (b) 12 is how many times 4 ? Ans. 3 times. 
 
 (c) 12 is 3 times what ? Ans. 4. 
 
 1. Form the three questions from the following state- 
 ment, 5 X 6 = 30. 
 
 Question a. % of 8 equals what ? Ans. 4. 
 
 Question b. 4 is J of what ? Ans. 8. 
 
 Question c. 4 is what part of 8 ? Ans. J. 
 
 SOLUTION. The product of two numbers divided by one 
 of them equals the other. 
 
 Since J X 8 == 4, 
 then, 4 -f- = 8, 
 and, 4 -i- 8 = . 
 
 2. J of 24 = what ?

 question like question b ; like question c. 
 
 3. 16 is 4 of what? 
 
 SOLUTION. It is evident that 16 is the product of two 
 numbers, and ^ is one of them. Therefore, 16 -=- J = 
 48. Ans. 
 
 4. What part of 48 is 16 ?

 NOTE. The foregoing treatment of this class of ques- 
 tions will be found exceedingly helpful in Percentage and 
 all its applications. Each of these three typical questions 
 forms the basis of the other two. When one of these 
 is given, the pupils should be required to give both the 
 others until very familiar with them, and when a problem 
 is found, involving one of the Three Questions, pupils 
 should be able to state the right question at sight. 
 
 When the pupil can state the question, the correct solu- 
 tion is assured, for the question is the key that unlocks the 
 problem. 
 
 Solve each of the following, and tell whether it is under 
 question a, b, or c, and state the other two questions.

 PLASTERING AND PAINTING. 
 
 Plastering and painting are usually done by the square 
 yard. 
 
 Deductions are frequently made for openings. 
 
 Windows and doors are openings. 
 
 1. A room is 18 ft. long, 12 ft. wide, and 8 ft. high. 
 How many square yards in the walls and ceiling ? 
 
 In problems of this kind first make a diagram represent- 
 ing the four walls in a line. 
 
 The ceiling may be represented as extend- ,!? FT.__ ^ 
 ing from a side wall or an end wall. 
 
 Draw this diagram (enlarged) on stiff 
 paper, then cut and fold the pattern to rep- 
 resent the walls and ceiling of the room.

 SOLUTION. The length of the four walls is 2 X (18 ft. 
 + 12 ft.) = 60 ft. ; 
 
 Area of 4 walls, 60 ft, by 10 ft. = 600 sq. ft. 
 
 Area of ceiling, 18 ft. by 12 ft. = 216 sq. ft. 
 
 Area of four walls and ceiling = 816 sq. ft. = 77f sq. yd. 
 
 2. If in the room mentioned above there are two doors, 
 3 ft. by 7 ft., and 4 windows 3 ft. by 6 ft., how many square 
 yards remain in the four walls and ceiling ?

 CARPETING ROOMS. 
 
 In carpeting rooms, it frequently occurs that more car- 
 peting must be purchased than is needed to cover the floor. 
 This waste is often necessary to make the patterns match. 
 A part of one outside strip must sometimes be turned under. 
 All this waste must be paid for by the purchaser. 
 
 If borders are used, there is a waste of % the breadth of 
 the border in mitering. (Illustrate.) 
 
 1. How many sq. yards in the surface of a floor 18 ft. 
 long and 15 ft. wide ? (Diagram.) 
 
 2. How many lineal yards of carpet 1 yd. wide must be 
 purchased to cover it ? 
 
178 ARITHMETIC. 
 
 3. How many lineal yards of carpet yd. wide, will be 
 needed to cover it ? 
 
 How long and how wide is each lineal yard ? 
 
 What part of a square yard will it cover ? Ans. sq. yd. 
 
 How many times is J sq. yard contained in 30 sq. yd. ? 
 
 4. How many yards of carpet } yd. wide will be required 
 for a hall 18 ft. wide and 30 ft. long, the strips running 
 the long way of the hall ? How many yards must be pur- 
 chased if the strips run the short way ? 
 
 Make a diagram showing the strips or breadths. 
 How many lineal yards in each strip ? 
 How many strips ? 
 
 SOLUTION. Since one strip covers a space yd. wide, it 
 will take as many strips to cover a space 6 yd. wide, as 
 yd. is contained times in 6 yd. = 8 strips. 
 
 8 strips each 10 yd. long = 80 lineal yards.

DECIMALS. 213 
 
 DECIMAL FRACTIONS. 
 
 A Common Fraction is generally expressed by placing 
 the denominator below the numerator. 
 
 A Decimal Fraction has a denominator, but the latter 
 is not generally written. 
 
 The denominator of a common fraction may be any 
 number. 
 
 The denominator of a decimal fraction must be 10, or 100, 
 or 1000, etc. 
 
 NOTE. The word decimal comes from the Latin word 
 decem, ten, and so the denominator of every decimal frac- 
 tion is 10, or 10 X 10, or 10 X 10 X 10, etc. 
 
 A Decimal Fraction, or Decimal, is a fraction whose unit 
 is divided into tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. 
 
 A Decimal is always written at the right of a period (.), 
 called the Decimal Point. 
 
 We use the decimal point in writing U.S. money to 
 separate the dollars from the cents and mills. 5 dollars 
 and 28 cents is written $5.28. But 28 cents is ffo of a 
 dollar; hundredths therefore are written like cents, with 
 two decimal figures. 
 
 NOTE. Any figure at the right of the decimal point is 
 a decimal figure. 
 
 Tenths are written like dimes, with one decimal figure. 
 
 fV = -3 ; T 8 u = - 8 5 yV = - 7 - 
 
 Hundredths are written with two decimal figures, 
 
 ^ = 28; flfr = .39; T {fo = .06. 
 
 Thousandths are written with three decimal figures, 
 
 = -025.

 13. How much greater is the second 5 than the first 5 ? 
 In the number 555.555 we have found that the value of 
 
 each 5 is ^ as much as the next 5 to the left. Also that 
 the value of any 5 is 10 times as great as the value of the 
 next 5 to the right. 
 
 In decimals as in integers, any figure removed one place 
 to the right is diminished tenfold, and when removed one 
 place to the left it is increased tenfold. 
 
 14. In the number 32.6 what would be the value of the 
 2 if it were removed one place to the right ? One place to

 For the denominator, give the denomination of the last 
 figure. 
 
 NOTE. The denominator of a decimal is always named, 
 but seldom written. 
 
 In reading an integer and a decimal, read " and " where 
 the decimal point occurs. 
 
 What is the denominator when the decimal has one fig- 
 ure ? two figures ? three figures ? four figures ? five figures ? 
 six figures ? seven figures ?

 To reduce a common fraction to a decimal. 
 
 Eeduce J to a decimal. 
 
 J = 3 times . 3 = (3.0) 30 tenths. 
 
 of 3.0 = (.7) 7 tenths and 2 tenths remainder. 
 
 2 tenths = 20 hundredths. of .20 = .05. 
 
 Hence J = .7 + .05 = .75. 
 
 Rule. Annex decimal naughts to the numerator, and 
 divide by the denominator. Point off in the quotient as 
 many decimal places as there are naughts annexed.

 DIVISION. 
 
 Since in multiplication there are as many decimals fig- 
 ures in the product as in both factors, in division the 
 quotient will have as many decimal figures as the number 
 of decimal figures in the dividend exceeds those in the 
 divisor. 
 
 .5) 12.685 Since there are three decimal figures in the 
 25.37 dividend and one in the divisor, there must be 
 two in the quotient. Prove by multiplying dividend by 
 quotient. 
 
 In all cases divide as in integers, then place the decimal 
 point.

 23.031 + When the divisor contains decimal 
 1.25')28.78 884 figures, move the point in both divisor 
 and dividend as many places to the

 the divisor, then place the point in the 
 quotient as if the divisor were an 
 ~jcj 4 integer. 
 
 125 NOTE 1. The new point in both 
 
 9 dividend and divisor may be placed on 
 
 a line with the tops of the figures, and the original point 
 may stand, to preserve the reading of the decimals. 
 
 NOTE 2. In the above example, the moving of the 
 point two places to the right in both dividend and divisor 
 is equivalent to multiplying each by 100. 
 
 NOTE 3. If the quotient does not have a sufficient 
 number of figures, prefix naughts. 
 
 NOTE 4. Before commencing to divide see that there 
 are at least as many decimal places in the dividend as in 
 the divisor. 
 
 NOTE 5. If there is a remainder, after all the figures 
 of the dividend are used, annex decimal naughts and con- 
 tinue the division. 
 
 NOTE 6. It is not usually necessary to have more than 
 four decimal figures in the quotient.
