Fill in the blanks, to make a true equation.
3/(3^2 - 1) + 3^2/(3^4 - 1) + 3^3/(3^6 - 1) + 3^4/(3^8 - 1) + ... + 3^(2(n - 1))/(3^(2n) - 1) = ___/___

 

Hint: Let S_n = \frac{3}{3^2 - 1} + \frac{3^2}{3^4 - 1} + \frac{3^3}{3^6 - 1} + \frac{3^4}{3^8 - 1} + ... + \frac{3^{2(n - 1)}}{3^{2n} - 1}.   Compute the first few values of S_n.
