This series converges.

S=\dfrac14+\dfrac3{16}+\dfrac1{64}+\dfrac3{256}+\dfrac1{1024}+\cdots

S=\left(\dfrac34+\dfrac3{16}+\dfrac3{64}+\dfrac3{256}+\dfrac3{1024}+\cdots\right)-\left(\dfrac12+\dfrac1{32}+\dfrac1{512}+\cdots\right)

S=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac3{4^n}-\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac1{2^{4n+1}}

Both component series are geometric with ratios less than 1, so they both converge.

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac3{4^n}=1

\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac1{2^{4n+1}}=\frac12\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac1{16^n}=\frac8{15}

So we have

S=\dfrac7{15}
