74 Proof.

The total is 1$1/undefined$$1/undefined$ and a series of smaller fractions. 1$1/undefined$$1/undefined$ taken from 2 leaves a remainder of $2/3$. Apply the smaller fractions to 912. The fractions are:

$2/3$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$.

and as parts of 912 they are equal to

768450$1/undefined$25$1/undefined$2$1/undefined$1$1/undefined$381921,

which together make 228, or $1/undefined$ of 912. For

Problem 33

A quantity, its $1/undefined$, its $1/undefined$, and its $1/undefined$, added together, become 37. What is the quantity?

Multiply 1$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$ so as to get 37.
