Question

mathmate · Answer

Can you check if your question is complete?
We do not usually find the sum of one single number.

anonymous · Answer

It only states calculate the sum of 1/7

anonymous · Answer

The sum is when you add. You do not have two numbers to add...

anonymous · Answer

yes I know, but it gives me multiple choices like 2/28, 1, etc

mathmate · Answer

is 1/7 one of them?

anonymous · Answer

Can't really help with that. Looks like someone had the same problem as you though-- http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130610122328AAWnrro

Show us your choices and maybe that can help. This seems fairly queer to me... Is this a geometric series? http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=sum+from+1+to+infinity+%281%2F7%29%5En

anonymous · Answer

no, it is algebra.  I will go to the question and copy and paste, give me a minute! Thanks

mathmate · Answer

What in algebra? Geometric series, ...?
A lot of the time, question imply the subject you're working on.  So an isolated question may not mean much.

anonymous · Answer

It says calculate the sum 1/7
 2/11, 11/28, 2/28,1

these are the answers I can choose from

Are you working on fractions?
Can you post the last you worked on?

kainui · Answer

Are you sure those are the answers and not what you're supposed to be summing?
