Answer:
8(59 1/4 x 1) -58 = 100
Step-by-step explanation:
This would simplify to x = -2 1/10 or x = 50/237
As 100/474 = -2 1/10 or -50/237
We balance the 8. then we balance the 50ml so that 100/424 = -25/106 = -2 4/10 so we see that 50ml minimum in the problem is required and this creates a 1/8 increase with each pump.
Proof is the difference of -2 1/10 to -2 4/10 = 1/8 increase in the resulting division of 474ml divided by 8ml
