Look at the arithmetic pattern shown here. Using the variable n for the term, describe the sequence. 1/3 2/5 3/7 4/9 5/11 Here’s a hint: Something is added to the rule.

Final answer:

The sequence follows the pattern of adding a constant term to the numerator and denominator with each term.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence given in the question follows the pattern of adding a constant term to the numerator and denominator with each term. Let's analyze the pattern step by step:

  1. The first term is 1/3.
  2. For the second term, we add 1 to both the numerator and denominator, so it becomes 2/5.
  3. For the third term, we add 1 again to both the numerator and denominator, so it becomes 3/7.
  4. This process continues for the remaining terms.

Therefore, the sequence can be described as adding 1 to both the numerator and denominator with each term.
