If a, b, and c are integers satisfying \(a + \frac 1b = \frac{22}{7}\), \(b + \frac 1c = 8\), and abc = 21, then find \(c + \frac 1a\). Express your answer as a common fraction.
If a, b, and c are integers satisfying , , and abc = 21, then find . Express your answer as a common fraction.

Sorry. Assignment incorrectly written off.
We can solve this by inspection. Logic
If abc = 21 and a + 1/b = 22/7
Then this implies that
a + 1/b = 3 + 1/7
Which implies that a = 3 and b = 7
So
abc =21
(3)(7)(1) = 21
So c = 1
And
c + 1/a = 1 + 1/3
