Web2.0 - Challenge 1- Old Eygptian Maths Cats
Old Egyptian Math Cats knew fractions like 1/2 or 1/4 (one piece of a pie).
Old Egyptian Math cats never repeated the same fraction when adding.
They never wrote: 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
But to make fractions like 3/4, they had to add pieces of pies like: 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4.
CHALLENGE:
On this Old Egyptian Maths Cat website try making 1/1 from 3 fractions of the form 1/n
