Question

1/1.2+1/2.3+...+1/49.50

 

Answer 1

\(\frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2.3}+...+\frac{1}{49.50}\)

\(=\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-...+\frac{1}{49}-\frac{1}{50}\)

\(=\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{50}\)

\(=\frac{49}{50}\)

Answer 2

\(=\left(\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{2}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}\right)+....+\left(\frac{1}{49}-\frac{1}{50}\right)\)

\(=1-\frac{1}{50}\)

\(=\frac{49}{50}\)
