Sorry, I should have given the complete answer to your question. As I assume you only want to print the sequence in the fraction-like form, do as follows:
In[1]:= b=Rationalize/@Table[n/(n+0.1 (n+1)),{n,1,15}]Out[1]= {5/6,20/23,15/17,8/9,25/28,60/67,35/39,80/89,9/10,100/111,55/61,120/133,65/72,28/31,75/83}
In[2]:= d=Table[j,{j,1,15}]Out[2]= {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}
In[3]:= c=(1./b)d Out[3]= {1.2,2.3,3.4,4.5,5.6,6.7,7.8,8.9,10.,11.1,12.2,13.3,14.4,15.5,16.6}
In[4]:= Table[ToString[d[[j]]]<>"/"<>ToString[c[[j]]],{j,1,15}]Out[4]= {1/1.2,2/2.3,3/3.4,4/4.5,5/5.6,6/6.7,7/7.8,8/8.9,9/10=
.,10/11.1,11/12.2,12/13.3,13/14.4,14/15.5,15/16.6}
