In the following grid, fill up the numbers from 1 to 9 (without repetition) such that their sum is $1$.
$\dfrac{\square}{\square \square}+\dfrac{\square}{\square \square} +\dfrac{\square}{\square\square}=1$
Solution provided by Mark, another contributor of this blog:
I would begin with:
[MATH]\frac{9}{12}[/MATH]
since this is the largest addend possible. This leaves [MATH]\frac{1}{4}[/MATH].
Observing that:
[MATH]\frac{1}{4}=\frac{17}{68}=\frac{2\cdot5+7}{68}= \frac{5}{34}+\frac{7}{68}[/MATH]
We now have:
[MATH]\frac{9}{12}+\frac{5}{34}+\frac{7}{68}=1[/MATH]
