Put that term of the supposition which implies the principal cause of action, gain or loss, in the 1st place: 2. That term which relates to time, place, distance, &c, the 2d place. DOUBLE 2 3 8. And the other suppositive term in the 3d place. 4. Put the two remaining terms of demand immediately undder those of the same name and kind. 5. If the blank place for the term sought, falls under the Bd term, then multiply the 1st and 2d terms for a divisor, and the other three for a dividend, the quotient will be the sixth term. 6. But if the blank fall under the first or second term, then inultiply the 3d and 4th terms for a divisor, and the other three for a dividend; and the quotient will be the answer. 7. If two men can do 12 'rods of ditching in 6 days, what will 8 men do in 24 days? 1 12 : : Then, 2X6=12 Divisor. 12X8=96 X 24=2304 Dividend. and 2304-12=192, Answer. EXERCISES IN PARSING. LESSON 16.
