I am not sure the question is correct. The series do not have any pattern
if the third term of series is 35/7 instead of 37/5, it can be summed easily.
Please confirm.

The general term of the sequence can be written as ak = 1 – (3/4)k.
 
This sum of the sequence can be found out using the well known formula for n-terms of a geometric progression.
