2/3 + 2/9 = (6+2)/9 = 8/9
2/3 + 2/9+2/27 = (24+2)/27 = 26/27
2/3+2/9+2/27+2/81 = 80/81
1st partial sum 2/3
2nd partial sum 8/9
3rd partial sum 26/27
4th partial sum 80/81
Notice a pattern?
What is the pattern for the denominator?
How do you get the numerator after you have the denominator?

Hi Dalia!
The pattern with these numbers is that the numerator is always 1 less than the denominator.
You can post your answer when you get it.
