problem

A sequence of numbers t1,t2,t3,…t_{1}, t_{2}, t_{3}, \ldots has its terms defined by tn=1n−1n+2t_{n}=\frac{1}{n}-\frac{1}{n+2} for every integer n≥1n \geq 1. What is the largest positive integer kk for which the sum of the first kk terms is less than 1.499?

Original LaTeX notation
A sequence of numbers $t_{1}, t_{2}, t_{3}, \ldots$ has its terms defined by $t_{n}=\frac{1}{n}-\frac{1}{n+2}$ for every integer $n \geq 1$. What is the largest positive integer $k$ for which the sum of the first $k$ terms is less than 1.499?
