If $\frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{3}{4}\cdot\frac{4}{5}\cdot...\cdot\frac{n}{n+1} = \frac{1}{10}$, what is the sum of the numerator and denominator of the largest fraction on the left side of the equation?

\( $\frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{3}{4}\cdot\frac{4}{5}\cdot...\cdot\frac{n}{n+1} = \frac{1}{10}$\)

 

We can write this in a slightlly different manner

 

2 *  3/3 * 4/4 * 5/5  *  ......* 19/19  *  1 / 20

 

 

The largest  fraction will be  19  /  20

 

 

So.....the sum =   39
