EXAMPLES IN ARITHMETIC LATE BY THE REV. HENRY PIX, M.A. SECOND MASTER OF WIMBORNE MINSTER GRAMMAR-SCHOOL SENIOR MATHEMATICAL MASTER OF MARLBOROUGH COLLEGE ADVERTISEMENT. THE following collection of Examples in Arithmetic has been drawn up to form a kind of Supplement to the common Treatises on that subject. It is generally found in most Schools, whatever Arithmetic is used, that the master has either himself to invent additional examples or to select them from other works; and it was thought that the present collection might therefore be generally serviceable. The examples are principally taken from Examination Papers set at the Universities, and various Schools. Each Example will be found to contain questions which require a knowledge of different rules, so that the student may be always practising himself in general examples, without forgetting one rule as soon as he has learnt another. Marlborough College: June, 1851. NOTE TO THE SECOND EDITION. In this Edition, errors have been corrected, the answers made more exact, and a few Examples, containing more questions, have been added. Wimborne Minster: Nov. 1857. NOTE TO THE THIRD EDITION. THIS Edition has been still further enlarged, and the Examples have been varied as much as possible, Wimborne Minster: May, 1861. MISCELLANEOUS EXAMPLES IN ARITHMETIC. Ex. 1. 1. Find the sum of £2 13s. 5d.; £7 9s. 41d.; £5 15s. 41d.; £9 17s. 6d.; £7 16s. 3d.; and £5 14s. 73d. 2. From 90 thousand and 90 subtract 12345. 3. In 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, how many minutes? 4. Divide 3587 linear yds. 9 ins. by 27. 5. Add together 31, 41, 51, +of to a simple fraction. of, and of of §, and reduce of 6. What fraction of a crown is 2s. 9d.; and what decimal of £5 is 3s. 6d.? 7. Multiply 2.5 by '0025; and divide 16.9 by 0013, and by 1.3. 8. Find the value of 3756 of £1, and reduce to its equivalent simple decimal. Ex. 2. 1. Multiply 13 acres, 3 roods, 18 poles, by of of 18. 2. The value of a mark being 13s. 4d., and that of a moidore 27s., how many half-crowns are there in 30 marks and 40 moidores together? 3. Find how often £24 11s. 6d. is contained in £8060 18s. 10d. 4. Multiply 323756 by 0038, and divide 21 by 5. Prove that the sum of the fractions 1 and their difference. 0035. is equal to 5 times 1층 6. Reduce 6s. 31d. to the decimal of a pound, and find the value of 0324 of a guinea. B |
