according to the question, A farmer has 220 bushels of wheat and sells an average of 16 and three eighths(16 + 3/8) bushels each day

we can write 16 3/8= 119/8 (1 day sells)

if we want to find 7 days sell then multiply 7 with 1 day sell

it means, 131/8 *7 = 917/8 (total change in the number of bushels after 7 days sale)
