Sequence with denominators of products of consecutive Fibonacci numbers I'm trying to figure out a way to solve the value of this:
$$\frac{1}{1\times 2}-\frac{1}{2\times 3}+\frac{1}{3\times 5}-\frac{1}{5\times 8}+\frac{1}{8\times 13}-\dots$$
The only thing I can come up with is a summation involving the $nth$ fibonacci term formula that uses $\phi$.  Any other insights?

You can do this using partial fractions.
Note that:
$$\begin{align}
\frac{1}{1 * 2} &= \frac{1}{1} + \frac{-1}{2} \\
\frac{1}{2 * 3} &= \frac{-1}{2} + \frac{2}{3} \\
\frac{1}{3 * 5} &= \frac{2}{3} + \frac{-3}{5} \\
\frac{1}{5 * 8} &= \frac{-3}{5} + \frac{5}{8} \\
\frac{1}{8 * 13} &= \frac{5}{8} + \frac{-8}{13}
\end{align}$$
The pattern can be formulated so that this identity can be proven later on
$$
\frac{1}{f_i * f_{i+1}} = (-1)^{i-1}\frac{f_{i-1}}{f_i} + (-1)^i\frac{f_i}{f_{i+1}}.
$$
Then the partial sums of the series are equivalent to
$$\begin{multline}
\frac{1}{1} + \frac{-1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{-2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{-3}{5} + \frac{3}{5} + \frac{-5}{8} + \frac{5}{8} + \frac{-8}{13} + \cdots + \frac{-f_i}{f_{i+1}} = \\
 =  1 - \frac{f_i}{f_{i+1}} = \frac{f_{i+1}}{f_{i+1}} - \frac{f_i}{f_{i+1}} = \frac{f_{i-1}}{f_{i+1}}
\end{multline}$$
