Answer

$S_{2}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ $S_{4}$ = $\frac{4}{5}$ $S_{6}$ = $\frac{6}{7}$

Work Step by Step

$S_{2}$ = $\frac{1}{1·2}+\frac{1}{2·3}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ $S_{4}$ = $\frac{1}{1·2}+\frac{1}{2·3}+\frac{1}{3·4}+\frac{1}{4·5}$ = $\frac{4}{5}$ $S_{6}$ = $\frac{1}{1·2}+\frac{1}{2·3}+\frac{1}{3·4}+\frac{1}{4·5}+\frac{1}{5·6}+\frac{1}{6·7}$ = $\frac{6}{7}$
