7s is a perfect square when s = 7 since 7*s = 7*7 = 49

This is the smallest positive integer s that makes 7s a perfect square

So it's the smallest positive integer s that makes √7s/4 an integer

So again, the answer is s = 7

Problems that are unambiguously posted are more likely to get quick responses. These three expressions have three very different solutions and tutors are unlikely either to guess which one is right or to solve all three problems.
