Ancient Egyptians did not write the fraction 4/5 as 4/5. Instead they used unit fractions. The numerator of a unit fraction is always 1.No denominator used to represent a given fraction can be repeated. For this reason, Egyptians would have written 4/5 as 1/2 + 1/5 + 1/10 and not as 1/2 + 1/10 + 1/10 + 1/10. Write each of the following as a sum of unit fractions.
