Completion Problems

In this section we add groups of fractions to other groups of fractions to get 1

Example:

Problem 21: It is said to thee, Complete 2/3 1/15 to 1

Applied to 15, 2/3 is 10 and 1/15 is 1, making 11; the remainder is 4.
Multiply 15 so as to get 4.

1 becomes 15
1/10 becomes 1 1/2
\ 1/5 becomes 3
\ 1/15 becomes 1
Total 4
