  Having an improper fraction in a mixed number is wild. Just use one or the other.

  I would have eliminated unreduced fractions and been left with 0 legal solutions lol

  Interesting that there are zero solutions that both use only proper fractions <i>and</i> are in lowest terms.

  I paused and said &quot;hey, this looks easy enough.&quot; Then I realized that the fraction part of a mixed number probably needs to be a proper, non-reducable fraction...and suddenly it got a whole lot harder because the options for denominators were incredibly restricted.<br><br>Edit: Oh, turns out that those restrictions make it literally impossible.

  Honestly, this is such a better problem, compared to the other. &nbsp;Notably, the solution guide didn&apos;t make me have a stroke.

  So, if there is no improper fractions, and if all fractions are reduced, then there are 0 solutions.
