Answer: The next three terms are
(7)/(23),(8)/(26),(9)/(29)

Explanation:

Since we have given that


(1)/(5),(2)/(8),(3)/(11),(4)/(14),(5)/(17),(6)/(20)

After analyzing the above pattern, we get that

In numerator , numbers are run in consecutive manner.

In denominator, number is added to 3 to get the next term.

So, the general form would be
(n)/(3n+2)

So, the next three terms would be


(7)/(3* 7+2)=(7)/(23)\\\\(8)/(3* 8+2)=(8)/(26)\\\\(9)/(3* 9+2)=(9)/(29)

Hence, the next three terms are


(7)/(23),(8)/(26),(9)/(29)
