If you haven't yet met Proof by Induction, you may like to read this article.

For your proof by induction, your inductive hypothesis could be that if $\frac bd$ and $\frac ac$ are Farey Neighbours with $c,d \leq n$, then $ad-bc=1$.
Then consider which fractions can be Farey Neighbours of $\frac bd$ and $\frac ac$ in $F_{n+1}$.
