Can you find ways to make twenty-link chains from these smaller chains?

Fraction Lengths

Stage: 2 Challenge Level: Challenge Level:2 Challenge Level:2

Can you find combinations of strips of paper which equal the length of the black strip? If the length of the black is 1, how could you write the sum of the strips?

The NRICH Project aims to enrich the mathematical experiences of all learners. To support this aim, members of the NRICH team work in a wide range of capacities, including providing professional development for teachers wishing to embed rich mathematical tasks into everyday classroom practice.
