1/10 and 1/8
For those who don't know, the sum involves a lowest common denominator of 120 (the lowest number that all the denominators are a factor of)
so you have
10/120 + 12/120 + 15/120 + 20/120 + 30/120 + 60/120 = 147/120
so you need to lose 27/120ths to make the sum = 1
which is 12/120 (1/10) and 15/120 (1/8)
