  Unfortunately, the comment got messed up when posted and I can’t edit it and it won’t let me post the list again, even formatted differently.
  
  But it’s really easy to create solutions. Start wie the middle one. The fraction has to have a value of 1, so the numerator and denominator have to be equal. So the middle fraction can be (1+2)/3, (1+3)/4, (1+4)/5, (1+5)/6, (1+6)/7, (1+7)/8, (1+8)/9, (2+3)/5, (2+4)/6, (2+5)/7, (2+6)/8, (2+7)/9, (3+4)/7, (3+5)/8, (3+6)/9 or (4+5)/9 (or swapping the addends in the numerator). Then use the remaining 6 numbers such that in the first fraction, the sum in the numerator is less then the denominator and in the third fraction the sum in the numerator is greater than the denominator.
