Answer 1

a)
`x = (68)/(100)`, b)
`x = (238)/(350)`, c)
`x = (17)/(25)`

Explanation:

a) The fraction is:

`x = (68)/(100)`

b) The fraction from previous question is simplified and later amplified:

`x = (34)/(50)` (By dividing each term by 2)

`x = (238)/(350)` (By multiplying each term by 7)

c) The fraction from first question is simplified into its minimal expression:

`x = (17)/(25)` (By dividing each term by 4)
