A fraction is written in terms of two parts: the number on top is called the numerator and the number on the bottom is called the denominator. We can use the division method to solve this question. To get a decimal, simply divide the numerator 49 by the denominator 6:
49 (numerator) ÷ 6 (denominator) = 8.17
As a result, you get 8.17 as your answer when you convert 7 7/6 (or 49/6) to a decimal.
