Correct answer:

x =  0.1667 m

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=2{\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}=2+{\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}={\displaystyle \frac{2\cdot 4+1}{4}}={\displaystyle \frac{9}{4}}=2.25\text{ m } \\ j=1{\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}}=1+{\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}}={\displaystyle \frac{1\cdot 3+1}{3}}={\displaystyle \frac{4}{3}}\doteq 1.3333\text{ m } \\ f=3\mathrm{/}4={\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}}=0.75\text{ m } \\ x=a-j-f=2.25-1.3333-0.75={\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}}\text{ m}=0.1667\text{ m} \end{gathered}$$
