Can you please double check the above answer. I don't know if it is right or wrong.

On this one I am lost on how to figure out the answer from here.
Please help
Ms. Sue. I meant put the answer for number 1 as 300/28 but them I am confused on what to do from there.
I am confused on number 2.
300/28
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
The easiest way to figure out these problems is to turn the fractions into decimals.
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
When I do 300/28 my answer then comes out to 1 3/28 is that the correct answer?
No.
I will try to rework that one again to see what other answer I can get and then have you check on it.
6 5/28
1. Your answer is not right.
Multiply 1 5/7 by 6 1/4
2. 2 3/5 is obviously more than 13/15
