  4. 110\frac{1}{10}

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer

910\frac{9}{10}

Explanation

Each term 1n(n+1)=1n1n+1\frac{1}{n(n+1)} = \frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{n+1}. Telescoping sum: (112)+(1213)++(19110)=1110=910(1 - \frac{1}{2}) + (\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}) + \dots + (\frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{10}) = 1 - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{9}{10}.
