\(\dfrac{1}{1.4}+\dfrac{1}{4.7}+...+\dfrac{1}{34.37}+\dfrac{1}{37.40}\)
\(=1-\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{7}+...+\dfrac{1}{34}-\dfrac{1}{37}+\dfrac{1}{37}-\dfrac{1}{40}\)
\(=1-\dfrac{1}{40}\)
\(=\dfrac{39}{40}\)
1/(1×4) + 1/(4×7) + ... + 1/(34×37) + 1/(37×40)
= 1/3 × (1 - 1/4 + 1/4 - 1/7 + ... + 1/34 - 1/37 + 1/37 - 1/40)
= 1/3 × (1 - 1/40)
= 1/3 × 39/40
= 13/40
