\[10\frac{3}{7}\]
The 10 is a whole number and the 3/7 is a fraction of a number.
For every whole 1, there is a 7/7. If you divide 7/7,you get 1.
If you divide 14 by 7
\[\frac{14}{7}=\frac{7*2}{7}=2\]
you get 2. To work backwards from a whole number to a fraction, you take the denominator (the bottom number of a fraction) and multiply it by the whole number.
10 * 7 = 70
to check your work,
\[\frac{70}{7}=\frac{7*10}{7}=10\]
Now that you have the 10, you need to account for the 3/7.
Since 10 is 70/7, and you have another 3/7, you simply have to add the two.
\[\frac{70}{7}+\frac{3}{7}=\frac{70+3}{7}=\frac{73}{7}\]
