    The series 1/5, 2/15, 4/45, 8/135 ... converges and sums up to 3/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Consider the infinite geometric series

    1/5, 2/15, 4/45, 8/135 ...

    With first term, a=1/5

    common ratio, r = ⅔

    The series converge because the common ratio, |r|<1.

    The sum to infinity of a geometric series, S = a / (1-r)

    S = 1/5 : (1-⅔) = 1/5 : 1/3 = 3/5

    Therefore, the geometric series 1/5, 2/15, 4/45, 8/135 ... sums up to 3/5.
