Reductions of Decimals
Case 1
To reduce a vulgar
fraction into a decimal
Rule
Annex cyphers to
the numerator, till it
be equal to, or greater
than the denominator;
then divide by
the denominator,
and the quotient will
be the decimal sought.
Case II
To reduce coins,
weights, measures &c
into decimals
Rule
Reduce the different
species into one, viz:
the lowest denomination
they consist of
for a dividend; then
reduce the integer into
the same denomination
for a divisor;
the result will be the
decimal required.
Case III
To reduce any decimal
into the equivalent
known parts of coin,
weight, or measure
Rule
Multiply the given
number by the number
of units contained in
the next inferior
denomination, cutting
off as many figures
from the product as
the given decimal
consists of; then multiply
the remaining
parts (if any) by the
next lowest
