Noelle Cuvos' Second Awesome Blog Post

So this is whats up, we all had to do a question from 2.3 and show our answers on the blog. So i had question number 4 from the History Link section from page 71.

4. Express each of the following as the sum of three unit fractions without using any fraction more than once.

a) 7/8 = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8
1/2 = 4/8
1/4 = 2/8
1/8 = 1/8
7/8

b) 11/24 = 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/12
1/4 = 6/24
1/8 = 3/24
1/12= 2/24
11/24

c) 3/4 = ?

Well for letter C, I couldn't find an answer after a while thinking about it. So comment and tell me what you got and how you got it, Thanks. peace !
