Fives Alive

                         (i)

To multiply by five, divide by two,
And shift the point one place towards the right,
To multiply by twenty-five you do
The same thing twice: there, don’t you think I’m bright?

                         (ii)

Divide by five is easy,
Simply multiply by two,
Shift all the figures right one place,
And the right answer you will face.
