Well, is maths all about theory and don't mathematicians have any practical sense at all? I hope it's just a joke, smile)

How can you say that 1/11 + 1/12+ ....+ 1/40 > 4(1/40) ?

It would be ok to say : 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ....+ 1/11 + ....+ 1/40 > 40(1/40). But here the sequence starts at 1/11 so I'm afraid there's something wrong with your reasoning.

Hi, this one may seem trivial but I really need help. Prove that:

1/11 + 1/12 + 1/13 + .... + 1/80 < 1.5

Can anyone help ?
