We had a good collection of offers:
David from St.Albans, Adam from Ystalyfera, Adrianos, Julian from Wilson's School, and Andrei from Bucharest all sent in their chosen sets of fractions with their reasons.
Here's one set in a table : it shows, for example, that 3/4 is 15/16 of 4/5 (check that for yourself)
