9 - A = 1 - 1/2 + 1-5/6 + 1 - 11/12 + ... + 1-89/90
9 - A = 1/2 + 1/6 + 1/12 + .. + 1/90
9 - A = 1/1.2 + 1/2.3 + 1/3.4 + .. + 1/9.10
9-A = 1/1 - 1/2 + 1/2 - 1/3 + ... + 1/9 - 1/10
9 -A = 1/1 - 1/10
9 - A = 9/10
A = 9 - 9/10
A = 81/10
\(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{5}{6}+\frac{11}{12}+\frac{19}{20}+...+\frac{89}{90}\)
\(=1-\frac{1}{2}+1-\frac{1}{6}+1-\frac{1}{12}+1-\frac{1}{20}+...+1-\frac{1}{90}\)
\(=9-\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{20}+...+\frac{1}{90}\right)\)
\(=9-\left(\frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{3.4}+\frac{1}{4.5}+...+\frac{1}{9.10}\right)\)
\(=9-\left(1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+....+\frac{1}{9}-\frac{1}{10}\right)\)
\(=9-\left(1-\frac{1}{10}\right)\)
\(=9-\frac{9}{10}=\frac{81}{10}\)
