To subtract httermnatc Decimals
Carry out repeaters one figure farther then the long
finite ; and' borrow 9 on the right side if necessary.
Make circulates similar; and, if the left figure of
circle be greater in the subtrahend than in the miue:
add 1 to the right-hand figure of the Subtrahend ; then s-
tract as in integers.

To multiply intcrmina.be Decimals.
If the multiplicand be a repeater, carry at 9 on the rij
Side ; if a cirulote, to the right side add the carriage fr;
the left of the circle, and make the circles similar.in
particular products before adding them.
If the multiplier be interminate, reduce it to a vulj
fraction ; then multiply by the numerator, and divide by
denominator.
