work it out it's one more than the 8th and one less than the 10th

The above answer seems to make no sense here.
It is not clear what you mean by a fraction sequence. It is not possible to go through the process for finding the nth term in an arithmetic, geometric or power sequence here.
For school mathematics, sequences of fractions are, in fact composed of two simple sequences. One sequence defines the numerators and the other defines the denominators. In such cases, the nth term of the fraction sequence is the fraction given by the nth term of the numerator sequence divided by the nth term of the denominator sequence.
For example:
1/1, 3/4, 5/9, 7/16, 9/25, ...
The numerators are the odd number, with t(n) = 2n-1
The denominators are the squares of natural numbers with u(n) = n2
So, the nth term of the fraction sequence is (2n-1)/n2.

To find the nth term of a sequence, we first need to identify the pattern or rule governing the sequence. In this case, the sequence appears to be increasing by 4, then 8, then 12, then 16, and so on. This pattern suggests that the nth term can be represented by the formula n^2 + n, where n is the position of the term in the sequence. So, the nth term for the given sequence is n^2 + n.
If the sequence is non-linear, you need to establish how it is defined.
The nth term in the sequence -5, -7, -9, -11, -13 can be represented by the formula a_n = -2n - 3, where n is the position of the term in the sequence. In this case, the common difference between each term is -2, indicating a linear sequence. By substituting the position n into the formula, you can find the value of the nth term in the sequence.
Three or more terms of a sequence are needed in order to find its nth term.
