12 w hen these two rings match , you have a ratio of 1:1. S o now rotate the number 30 on the outer scale so that it is in line with the red 60 on the middle scale . 30 is half of 60 so you have now just created a ratio of 2:1 ( two “30 s ” equal one “60”). N otice that 35 is over 70 and 40 is over ...

13 m ultiplication w henever you want to multiply something quickly you can use your a bingdon watch . T o do so , you must set one of the numbers on the outer ring to the 10 on the middle ring . I t doesn ’ t matter which one . F or example , 5 x 7 ( we ’ re going to start off easy ) 1. R otate the...

15 that is where your answer is going to be . T he example below explains what i’ m trying to say : e xample : 15/5 1. W hatever number is being divided will go on the outer ring . T herefore in this example , find 15 on the outer ring . 2. R otate the 15 so that it is in line with the 50 (5.0 remem...

16 230/5 = 46 5/2 = 2.5 ( remember that decimal point !) 180/12 = 15 135/9 = 15 98/7 = 14 important n ote : o ne thing you may have noticed starting off is that it seems that each number can be anything you want it to be . F or example , 1 can be 1, 10, 100, 1000, or .1, .01 and so on . D epending o...

17 how easy this is . F ind the number 70 on the middle ring (i t ’ s around the one o ’ clock position ). I f you look opposite the 70 on the inner ring , you will see 1:10. 70 minutes is 1 hour and 10 minutes ! S ee if you can go around the entire face changing the hours to minutes . N ow that we ...

19 i n fact , you can choose any distance and , as long as you leave the rate set , you can figure out how long it will take you to fly any distance . F or practice , set your plane ’ s cruise speed to the rate and find out the time it will take to go : 25 nautical miles 60 nautical miles 350 nautic...
