The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \( 1 + \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{1}}}}} \), we will work from the innermost fraction outward. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Start from the innermost fraction The innermost part of the expression is \( 1 \). So we can write: \[ 1 + 1 = 2 \] ### Step 2: Substitute back into the expression Now we replace the innermost part with \( 2 \): \[ 1 + \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{1 + 2}}} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the next fraction Now we simplify \( 1 + 2 \): \[ 1 + 2 = 3 \] So we have: \[ 1 + \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{1 + 3}} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the next fraction Now we simplify \( 1 + 3 \): \[ 1 + 3 = 4 \] So we have: \[ 1 + \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{4}} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the next fraction Now we simplify \( 1 + \frac{1}{4} \): To do this, we find a common denominator: \[ 1 = \frac{4}{4} \implies 1 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{4}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \] So we have: \[ 1 + \frac{1}{\frac{5}{4}} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the next fraction Now we simplify \( \frac{1}{\frac{5}{4}} \): This is equivalent to: \[ \frac{4}{5} \] So we have: \[ 1 + \frac{4}{5} \] ### Step 7: Combine the last fractions Now we combine \( 1 + \frac{4}{5} \): To do this, we find a common denominator: \[ 1 = \frac{5}{5} \implies 1 + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{5}{5} + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{9}{5} \] ### Final Result Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \frac{9}{5} \]
