This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 Excerpt: ...out an account similar to the one in 4. 6. Suppose you are treasurer of your class when it holds an ice-cream and candy sale to raise money for a picture. Let the class suggest items to be entered as receipts and as expenditures. Make out your account. HOW TO ATTACK A PROBLEM 1. Most of us can solve a problem easily when it requires only one process, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Sometimes, even then, we are in doubt between addition and subtraction, or between multiplication and division. 'Where only one process, or step, is required we are usually given two facts from which to find a third, which is the answer. For example, Frank earned 750 a day. He worked 5 days. These are the two facts that are given. From them we may find a third fact. What is it? 2. When more than one step is required, we may have two facts given, but we cannot obtain the answer until we find another fact and use that to find the answer. For example, we may be asked to find the number of tons in two loads of coal weighing 5321 lb. and 4679 lb. We cannot find the answer by one operation. If we were given the number of tons in each load, instead of the number of pounds, we could add them to find the whole number of tons; or, if we were given the whole number of pounds, we could remember that there are 2000 lb. in a ton and then get the answer by one operation. So we may do either of two things to obtain another fact that we need, to get the answer. Which will be easier? Try it. Sometimes it will help us decide what to do if we think, "Will the answer be greater or less than the number given?" or, "What must I find before I can use one of the given facts to get the answer?" 3. Sugar is 8 a pound. Louis bought 10 lb. Question. 4. A ...
