Just those five terms?  Or did you leave off +... and
intend it to be an infinite series?  Here is the sum
of just these 5 terms:

1+%2B+1%2F3+%2B+1%2F%283%2A9%29+%2B+1%2F%283%2A9%2A27%29+%2B+1%2F%283%2A9%2A27%2A81%29%22%22=%22%22

%22%22=%22%22

%22%22=%22%22

%22%22=%22%22

%22%22=%22%22

%2859049%2B19683%2B2187%2B81%2B1%29%2F%283%5E10%29%22%22=%22%22

81001%2F%283%5E10%29%22%22=%22%22

81001%2F59049%22%22=%22%22
