We need ti fill in the boxes below, selecting among the numbers 1 through 8 and repeating none of them to make the sum as close as possible to 1 but not equal to 1.
First fraction could be 1/2
Now, the second fraction should be closer to 1/2 to make the sum as close as possible to 1, but not equal to 1.
We know that 3/6 = 1/2
So, 3/7 would be closer to 1/2
Therefore, the boxes could be filled as;
[tex]\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{7}[/tex]..
