Problem 36

I have gone in three times, my $1/undefined$ and my $1/undefined$ have been added to me, and I return having ﬁlled the measure. What is the quantity that says this?

Assume 1. Multiplying by 3$1/undefined$$1/undefined$, we have

Get 1 by operating on 3$1/undefined$$1/undefined$. Apply this to 30; it makes 106. Multiply 106 so as to get 30.
