i just got a screenshot of this hopefully this helps :)
The 7 is 10 times bigger in 26475 than the 7 in 503497. why? because the 7 in 26475 is in the 10's place and the 7 in 503497 is in the ones place.
If you need clarification on the 10 times bigger part...consider this whats 1×10? 10
. If the 7 was in the 100 place and the other 7 was in the 10 place then it would be 10×10=100 and so on
let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then take it from there, keeping in mind that the whole is "x".

You need to work backwards
if it is no more than 9 units away from 8
thus x must be 8-9<x<8+9 solving -1<x<17
so the answer is 4.
