=1/2*3+1/3*4+1/4*5+1/5*6+1/6*7+1/7*8 =1-1/2+1/2-1/3+1/3-1/4+1/4-1/5+1/5-1/6+1/6-1/7+1/7-1/8 =1-1/8=7/8
\(\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{42}+\frac{1}{56}\)
\(=\frac{1}{2\times3}+\frac{1}{3\times4}+\frac{1}{4\times5}+\frac{1}{5\times6}+\frac{1}{6\times7}+\frac{1}{7\times8}\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{7}-\frac{1}{8}\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{8}\)
\(=\frac{3}{8}\)
