We can determine this to be a Geometric Sequence with:

a = 2
r = 1/2
an = ?

We must first find an. We know that an = 1/256, therefore we can use this formula to discover an:

an = a * r^n-1
1/256 = 2 * 1/2^n-1
1/256 / 2 = 1/2^n-1
1/512 = 1/2^n-1
log(1/512) = log(1/2^n-1)
9 = n - 1
10 = n

Therefore, we know an = 10

Now we input it into this equation and solve:

Sn = a(1-r^n/1-r)
Sn = 2(1-1/2^10/1-1/2)
Sn = 2(1023/1024 / 1 / 2)
Sn = 2(1023/1024 * 2 / 1)
Sn = 2(2046/1024)
Sn = 2(1023/512)
Sn = 1023/256
Sn = 3.992

Geez, that took awhile... xD

$\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12}$

We know that:

$\frac{a}{b} + \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a.d + b.c}{bd}$

So,

$\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1.12+6.1}{6.12}$

$\frac{12+6}{72}$

$\frac{18}{72}$

$\frac{9}{36}$

$\frac{3}{12}$

$\frac{1}{4}$
