Context: It would normally follow on from work on sequences and fractions
Question: Ruth was investigating fraction differences. She wrote down this sequence of fractions:
1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1,5 1,6 ... ...
Then she worked out the difference between the consecutive fractions:
1/2, 1/6, 1/12, 1/20, 1/30, .. ..
She Then worked out the differences between the Fractions in her second series.
1/3, 1/12 ... ...
