To add decimals wherein are single reptends— MAke every line end at the same place filling up the vacancies by the repeating digits and annexing a cypher or cyphers to the finite terms then add as before only increase the sum of the right hand row with as many units as it contains nine& the figure in the SUm under that place will be a repetend — To subtract finite decimals. HAving first set down the greTer the two numbers given whether it be a whole number mixed number of decimal set down the less under it according to the directions given in addition the subtract as in whole numbers imagining all the vacant places fillwed with cyphers — To subtract decimals that have repetends — MAke the repetends similar and conterminders & subtract as in the last case observing only if the repetend of the number to be subtracted be greater than the repetend of the number it is to be taken from then the right hand figure of the remainder must be less by unity than it would be if the expressions were finite & the repetend in the remainder will consist of as many places as there are in the other two numbers.
