I believe you have the wrong answer. I think the mistake occurs when you reduced the factions. I don't understand how you got 7/1 out of 7/3. Seems to me the best you could do is 2 1/3. Also 9/8 becomes 3/8? Again mixed number seems to be all I can reduce that to 1 1/8. If I am wrong please explain why.
Thanks
