Replace each letter by a positive rational number such that the following is true. Do it for rationals that can be written in the same denominator that is as small as possible.

O + N + E          =  1
T + W + O          =  2
T + H + R + E + E  =  3
F + O + U + R      =  4
F + I + V + E      =  5
S + I + X          =  6

Comment about 0, also found:

"... , -3 , -2 , -1 are negative.

1 , 2 , 3 , ... are positive.

0 is neither negative nor positive. After all 0 = -0 and for any other number negating it would put it in the other group."
