You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the difference between $\"1%2F4\"$ and $\"1%2F2\"$ is $\"1%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so this needs to be divided by 3 to get the two fractions needed
\n" ); document.write( "this gives intervals of $\"1%2F12\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore your successive fractions are
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F12\"$ , $\"4%2F12\"$ , $\"5%2F12\"$ , $\"6%2F12\"$ which added together
\n" ); document.write( "= $\"18%2F12\"$ =1 $\"1%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Pete \n" ); document.write( "
