I believe the correct answer is: Eteocles was loyal
to Thebes.
In Sophocles’ drama “Antigone”, Creon puts the law
above everyone, even above his family. Creon is the uncle of Antigone, Ismene
and Eteocles and Polyneices. Polyneices claimed the crown and led a rebellion,
which is why he was declined the right to be buried. On the other side, Eteocles
was loyal Thebes and was granted the right to be buried.
For the first question
The number given is = 4 7/8
= 39/8
Let us assume the number to be added is = x
39/8 + x = 7
(39 + 8x) = 7 * 8
39 + 8x = 56
8x = 56 - 39
8x = 17
x = 17/8
= 2 1/8
So 2 1/8 should be added to get 7
Regarding the second question
The number given is = 2 1/7
= 15/2
Let us assume the number to be added = y
(15/2) + y = 4
15 + 2y = 4 * 2
15 + 2y = 8
2y = 8 - 15
2y = - 7
y = - 7/2
= - 3 1/2
So the number that needs to be added is - 3 1/2.
Regarding the third question
The number given is = 5 2/9
= 47/9
Let us assume the number to be added = z
Then
(47/9) + z = 7
47 + 9z = 7 * 9
47 + 9z = 63
9z = 63 - 47
9z = 16
z = 16/9
= 1 7/9
So the number that needs to be added is 1 7/9.
