Answer

$\sum\limits_{k=1}^{5}{\frac{k+1}{k+2}}\text{.}$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{4}+\frac{4}{5}+\frac{5}{6}+\frac{6}{7}$ This is the sum of fractions where the numerator value is one less than the denominator value. The value of $k$ varies from $1$ to $5$. Thus, the sigma notation is, $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{5}{\frac{k+1}{k+2}}$ Thus, the sigma notation for the sum $\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{4}+\frac{4}{5}+\frac{5}{6}+\frac{6}{7}$ is$\sum\limits_{k=1}^{5}{\frac{k+1}{k+2}}\text{.}$
