1/3 + 2/3^2 + 1/3^3 + 2/3^4 + 1/3^5 + 2/3^6 + 1/ 3^7 + 2/3^8 .........
We can write this as
(3 + 2)/3^2 + (3 + 2)/3^4 + (3 + 2) / 3^6 + (3 + 2) / 3^8 ..... =
5 [ 1/3^2 + 1/3^4 + 1/ 3^6 + 1/3^8 ..... ] =
5 [ the sum of an infinite series with the first term = 1/3^2 and a common ratio of 1/3^2 ] =
5 (1/3^2) / ( 1 - 1/3^2) =
(5/9) / ( 8/9) =
5 / 8
