Make it 7/1. You cannot work this without turning it into a fraction. It wouldn't be 1/7, because it is not 1 peice of 7, it is the whole thing. 7/1.I would also turn 3 5/12 into a mixed fraction. That would be 41/12.

I think they mean how to make it an improper fraction. My guess would be 7 over 1, but I could be wrong.
