OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those sneaky commas...

mathslover (mathslover):

Now can u find the pattern here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it C 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would be my guess too

mathslover (mathslover):

Yes but how @cutiexoxo1 you got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it goes 2 1/2 then 3

mathslover (mathslover):

Yes... the correct pattern is : \(\cfrac{1}{2} + \color{blue}{\cfrac{1}{2}} , 1 + \color{blue}{\cfrac{1}{2}} , 1\cfrac{1}{2} + \color{blue}{\cfrac{1}{2}} , 2 + \color{blue}{\cfrac{1}{2}} , 2\cfrac{1}{2} + \color{blue}{\cfrac{1}{2}} , 3 ... \) Note there \(\color{blue}{\cfrac{1}{2}}\) is being added up in all terms
