To multiply 1 1/6 by 7, we first need to convert the mixed number 1 1/6 to an improper fraction.

To convert 1 1/6 to an improper fraction, we follow these steps:
1. Multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction. In this case, 1 x 6 = 6.
2. Add the product from step 1 to the numerator of the fraction. In this case, 6 + 1 = 7.
3. Write the sum from step 2 as the numerator, and keep the same denominator. In this case, the fraction becomes 7/6.

Now we can multiply the improper fraction 7/6 by 7:
7/6 * 7 = (7 * 7) / 6 = 49/6.

To write 49/6 as a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:
49 ÷ 6 = 8 remainder 1.

The answer is 8 1/6.
