Gọi tổng cần tính là \(A\)
Ta có: \(A=\dfrac{1}{2.4}+\dfrac{1}{4.6}+\dfrac{1}{6.8}+...+\dfrac{1}{38.40}\)
\(\Rightarrow2A=\dfrac{2}{2.4}+\dfrac{2}{4.6}+\dfrac{2}{6.8}+...+\dfrac{2}{38.40}\)
\(\Rightarrow2A=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}-\dfrac{1}{8}+...+\dfrac{1}{38}-\dfrac{1}{40}\)
\(\Rightarrow2A=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{40}=\dfrac{19}{40}\)
\(\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{\dfrac{19}{40}}{2}=\dfrac{19}{80}\)
