Answer:

1/6 + 2/6 + 3/6 = 6/6 = 1

1/7 + 2/7 + 4/7 = 7/7 = 1

1/8 + 2/8 + 3/8 = 6/8 = 0.75

1/9 + 2/9 + 3/9 = 6/9 = 2/3 = 0.66 (repeater dot above first 6)

1/10 + 2/10 + 3/10 = 6/10 = 3/5 = 0.6

1/12 + 2/12 + 3/12 = 6/12 = 1/2 = 0.5

All numerators in consecutive form 1, 2, 3 adds up to 6

Where 7/7 as a numerator is easier to work with than 6/7 as 6/7 does not leave a whole number as easy as 7/7 does leave whole number = 1.

We notice just 8 and 9 does not leave to 1 decimal point when adding the first consecutive numerators of that whole.

Where 10.and 12 does leave to 1dp as these numbers are not prime numbers like co prime numbers 7 and 11.
