Answer: the answer would be six sixtieths 6/60 or simplified one tenth 1/10

Explanation:

take seven times two plus one, which is fifteen, and put it over two(15/2), then flip it so it is two over fifteen 2/15. then multiply two fifteenths times three fourths. two times three is six, so that would go on top, and fifteen times four is sixty, so that is the bottom. So, six over sixty 6/60. now, to simplify, both six and sixty are divisible by six, so six divided by six is one, and sixty divided by six is ten, so you would have one tenth 1/10. i have also included a image showing how i worked it out below.

7 1/3 can also be written as 15/2, so divide 15/2 by 3/4. When you divide fractions you flip the second fraction and multiply it, so now it would be 15/2 X 4/3, so you would get 60/6 which is 10!
