The app proposes 21 challenges to overcome.
Obtaining the proper fractions listed at the top of the application, adding two or three unit fractions.
Each proposed proper fraction has a variable number of solutions.
And different levels of difficulty
You can not repeat unit fractions with the same value.
In the app you'll find a button to delete all the solutions found in the current problem, and to start from scratch.
The littlest unit fraction used in this app is 1/28.
The program is designed to show the usefulness of the subtraction of fractions in solving such problems.

Hint:
In the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (RMP) in 1650 BC the scribe Ahmes copied the now-lost test from the reign of the king Amenemamhat III .
The first part of the papyrus is taken up by the 2/n table. The fractions 2/n for odd n ranging from 3 to 101 are expressed as sums of unit fractions.
In this app you can build some of the Ahmes decompositions ( 2/3 , 2/5, 2/7, 2/9 ) and the discarded ones by him also.
The app allow to decompose also: 3/4 , 3/5 , 4/5 , 5/6 , 3/7 , 4/7 , 5/7 , 3/8 , 5/8 , 7/8 , 4/9 , 5/9 , 7/9 , 8/9 , 3/10 , 7/10 , 9/10.
You can use the knowledge acquired solving the 2/n decompositions to solve the rest of the problems.
