By $AM - GM$ we have that $$a^3+2b^2+2b+4\geq \frac{3}{2}a^2+2b^2+2b+\frac{7}{2}=\frac{3}{2}(a^2+b^2)+\frac{1}{2}(b^2+1)+2b+3\geq \frac{3}{2}\cdot 2ab+\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2b+2b+3= 3(ab+b+1)$$Similarly and use $abc=1$ we have $$\dfrac{1}{a^3+2b^2+2b+4}+\dfrac{1}{b^3+2c^2+2c+4}+\dfrac{1}{c^3+2a^2+2a+4}\leq\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{1}{ab+b+1}+\frac{1}{bc+c+1}+\frac{1}{ca+a+1}\right)=\frac{1}{3}\ (\text{as needed})$$

It should be $\sum_{cyc}\frac {1}{3a+6b} $ not $\sum_{cyc}\frac {1}{3a+6} $

Let $a,b$ and $c$ be positive real numbers. Prove that$$\dfrac{a}{a^3+2b^2+2b+4}+\dfrac{b}{b^3+2c^2+2c+4}+\dfrac{c}{c^3+2a^2+2a+4}\leq \dfrac13$$Let $a,b$ and $c$ be positive real numbers such that $a+b+c=3.$ prove that $$\dfrac{a^2}{a^3+2b^2+5b+4}+\dfrac{b^2}{b^3+2c^2+5c+4}+\dfrac{c^2}{c^3+2a^2+5a+4} \leq\frac{3}{4(ab+bc+ca)}$$

By AM-GM, $$\sum_{cyc}\dfrac{1}{a^3+2b^2+2b+4}=2\sum_{cyc}\dfrac{1}{(a^3+a^3+1)+3b^2+(b^2+1)+4b+6}$$$$\leq \frac{2}{3}\sum_{cyc}\dfrac{1}{(a^2+b^2)+2b+2}\leq\frac{1}{3}\sum_{cyc}\frac{1}{ab+b+1}=\frac{1}{3}.$$
