  • $\begingroup$ As the sum in the denominator is simply n^(5/2) the expression in question is just the Riemann sum the limit of which gives Integrate[x^(3/2),{x,0,1}] -> 2/5. The same idea was applied in my question mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/95126/… $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 13, 2015 at 8:55

You can easily look up manual, and employ

Limit[Sum[k*Sqrt[k], {k, 1, n}]/(Sqrt[n]*Sum[2*k - 1, {k, 1, n}]), 
   n -> Infinity]

(* 2/5 *)

Also track the dependence of the limit on parameter (u) using

ListPlot[Table[{u, 
   Limit[Sum[k*Sqrt[k], {k, 1, n}]/(Sqrt[n]*Sum[u*k - 1, {k, 1, n}]), 
    n -> Infinity]}, {u, 1, 4, 0.1}]]

The arrow indicates value corresponding to u=2
