Can someone explain why the answer is C? Shouldnt it be E. Even if you just plugin the equation into a calculator the answer is E.
The correct answer is 49/8, which is the same as \(6\frac{1}{8}\) or \(7*\frac{7}{8}\), answer E. Notice that \(6\frac{1}{8}\) is a mixed fraction and it is NOT the same as \(6*\frac{1}{8}\) (option C).
