A mixed number is not an improper fraction. A mixed number is a whole number and a fraction after. 7 is the whole, and .1 is 1/10 of 1, so the answer is 7 1/10

Write the decimal number as a fraction
(over 1)
7.1 = 7.1 / 1

Multiplying by 1 to eliminate 1 decimal places
we multiply top and bottom by 1 10's

Numerator (N)
N = 7.1 × 10 = 71
Denominator (D)
D = 1 × 10 = 10

N / D = 71 / 10

Simplifying our fraction

= 71/10
