DISCUSS: A Babylonian
I have a reed, I know not its length. I broke from it one cubit, and it fit 60 times along the length of my field. I restored to the reed what I had broken off, and it fit 30 times along the width of my field. The area of my field is 375 square nindas. What was the original length of the reed?
Solve this problem. Use the fact that 1 ninda = 12 cubits.
