A = \(\frac{1}{41}+\frac{1}{42}+...+\frac{1}{80}=\left(\frac{1}{41}+\frac{1}{42}+...+\frac{1}{60}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{61}+\frac{1}{62}+...+\frac{1}{80}\right)\)
Ta có: \(\frac{1}{41}>\frac{1}{60};\frac{1}{42}>\frac{1}{60};....;\frac{1}{59}>\frac{1}{60}\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{1}{41}+\frac{1}{42}+...+\frac{1}{60}>\frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{60}+...+\frac{1}{60}=\frac{20}{60}=\frac{1}{3}\)(1)
Lại có: \(\frac{1}{61}>\frac{1}{80};\frac{1}{62}>\frac{1}{80};....;\frac{1}{79}>\frac{1}{80}\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{1}{61}+\frac{1}{62}+...+\frac{1}{80}>\frac{1}{80}+\frac{1}{80}+...+\frac{1}{80}=\frac{20}{80}=\frac{1}{4}\)(2)
Cộng (1) và (2) lại ta được:
\(A>\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{7}{12}\)(đpcm)
