    This one is a bit tricky, but a really important trick with fractions is that they can be written in different ways. For example, 1/2 = 2/4. This is the trick that this question wants you to see:

    1/3, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 5/7

    is the same as

    1/3, 2/4, 3/5, 4/6, 5/7

    It is then much easier to see that a possible rule is n / (n+2) since the denominator in this pattern is always 2 more than the numerator.
