Answer 1

hi

1/7 * (56 -1/4) = 56/7 - 1/28 = 224/28 - 1/28 = 223 /28

as 223 is prime, it's cannot be simplified. however it 7 +27/28

Answer 2

well what i got was:

the exact form: 233/28

decimal form: 7.96428571...

mixed number form: 7 27/28

not sure if this is right at all but i hope it helps at least a little
