Numbertown ---- Headless Fractions

"There's a shortcut way to find that out," informed 1/5. "Take a look at the denominators. What cloning number gets you from 3 to 15?"

"Why it's 5," replied 2/3 having changed from its 4/6 costume. "Well if you do the same thing with the numerator, what do you get?"


"My cloning number is 5. So 5 times 2 is 10. I get 10," said 2/3 stunned by how easy that was. So 2/3 immediately went to tell /15 to put a 10 on its head.

At that moment, all of sudden, 2/3 woke up, rubbed his eyes and found out that 10/15 never lost its head and there wasn’t a Lost & Found Heads Department at City Hall.

So 2/3 grabbed a cup of coffee and put on its 10/15 costume and gave itself a virtual hug knowing that all was well. So if you, dear reader, are ever faced with a fraction that has lost its head, tell them not to worry. You will come to their rescue.
