Final answer:

Without a clear pattern or additional information, it is impossible to determine the 99th term of the sequence provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence given appears to be 1/2, 1/3, 1 5/4, 3/2. However, to determine the 99th term, we need to identify a pattern or rule that defines how the sequence progresses. The terms provided do not immediately suggest a common sequence like arithmetic or geometric progressions. Without additional information or a clear pattern, it's impossible to provide the 99th term. In such cases, further clarification from the student would be necessary to provide a definitive answer.

Understanding sequences in mathematics often involves recognizing patterns or applying formulas. When given a few terms of a sequence without a clear pattern, consider if the terms could be part of an arithmetic sequence (with a constant difference between terms), a geometric sequence (with a constant ratio between terms), or another type of sequence that might involve more complex rules.
