Answer:

7 & 1/10

You can write it as
7 (1)/(10)

It is read out to be "seven and one-tenth"

Explanation:

Let's say you had 71 cookies and 10 people you wanted to evenly divide those cookies among. Each person would get 7 whole cookies because 70/10 = 7. There would be 1 cookie left over which is the remainder. This remainder forms the "1/10" in the answer above. Put another way, the left over cookie can be split into ten equal slices so that each person gets an additional 1/10 of a cookie to go on top of the 7 whole cookies they get.

You can think of it as

71/10 = (70+1)/10 = (70/10) + (1/10) = 7 + (1/10) = 7 & 1/10

or you can use long division to find this as well.
