1/3, 7/15, 3/5, 11/15,...
write them all with a common denominator, 15
5,15, 7/15, 9/15, 11/15,...
now it is easier to see what is happening
you add 2/15 to each term to get the next term
11/15+2/15=13/15 which comes after 11/15
13/15+2/15=15/15=1 which comes after 13/15
the answer to your question, the next term is 13/15
