There are essentially just two ways to write 1/2 as a sum of two basic fractions, and just two to write 1/3 this way.
a) How many ways to so write 1/5 and 1/7?
b) How many ways to so write 1/4 and 1/6?

Wayne, can you see the flaw in my reasoning. I agree with the first 4 being F(2n), but n=5?
1x1x1x1x1 one way; 1x1x1x2 four ways; 1x1x3 x3; 1x4 x2;
2x2x1 x3; 2x3 x2; 4x1 x2; 5
1+8+9+8+12+12+8+5 = 63

Longer lives lead to breakthroughs in healthcare and well-being. Longer lifespans foster connections between generations. We need to celebrate longer lives and ensure access to quality healthcare, education, and opportunities for all, regardless of age. #StopAgeism

BIG MISSES in #BCBudget2022:
1) No real investment for #longtermcare or #assistedliving
2) No adequate staffing/HR for #LTC
3) No #homecare funding
4) No Minister of Seniors
5) No economic supports for seniors on fixed pensions & prices rising ⬆️ @CanAgeSeniors @CBCVancouver
Fred G. Harwood retweeted
3) Other announcements in #mentalhealth, #homelessness, and #acutecare similarly were confirmed to have no designated programs for #seniors in these announcements either. It's like older BC'ers don't even exist. @CBCVancouver @GlobalBC @VancouverSun @globeandmail

“When you look at people who have been hospitalized, 97% of the hospitalizations are in people who are unvaccinated,” @ScottGottliebMD says of CDC director’s remarks on “epidemic of unvaccinated.” He continues: “Most of the deaths that are occurring are in people unvaccinated.”

I wanted to see what the ratios looked like as fractions. Here is one interpretation showing all thinking:

A3: I often hear teachers say they don't feel confident enough with their own mathematical understanding to open things up in their pedagogy. I think this is something we need to work on together as a community of educators. #imaginEDchat
