1. x - 2/7 = 5/4 x = 5/4 + 2/7 x = 35/28 + 8/28 x = 43/28 x = 1 15/28 answer2. Third child = 3/4 - 3/10 - 1/4 = 30/40 - 12/40 - 10/40 = 8/40 = 1/5 of stocks3. 2 1/4 bags of cement per section 9/4 × 7 = 63/4 or 15 3/4 bags of cement to be used for 7 section4. x(3 1/3) = 12 5/6 x(10/3) = 77/6 10x/3 = 77/6 10x = 77/2 x = 77/20 x = 3 17/205. No. of pupuls = 280 + (7/20)(280) = 280 + 98 = 378
