Note that each fraction is of the form
n/(2n+1)
This can be written as
1/2 - 1/(2(2n+1))
clearly, as n gets larger, a smaller amount is subtracted, so the fraction with the largest denominator is the largest -- closer to 1/2
Of the following fractions: 9/19, 5/11, 7/15, and 11/23, which is the largest?
