(4)7/8 + 7(5/12 + 1/8) - 10 = get a common denominator of 24 within the parentheses
28/8 + 7 ( 10/24 + 3/24) - 10 =
7/2 + 7 ( 13 / 24) - 10 =
7 / 2 + 91 / 24 - 10 = common denominator = 24

Jenny has six basketball teams, each team needs new shoes for an upcoming tournament, and she spent 630 dollars on all the shoes thus far. Each pair of shoes cost 6 times more than last year’s pairs of shoes.
How much did last year’s shoes cost?
Last year's shoes must have 1/6 the cost of this year's....so ... (1/6) * (630) = [600 + 30] / 6 =
600/ 6 + 30 / 6 =
100 + 5 =
$105
