    A Septonian said that his exact weight is 250.346 pounds (base 7). Translate this into base 10.

    Start the conversion:
    2 * 7^2 + 5 * 7^1 + 0 * 7^0 + 3 * 1/7 + 4 * (1/7)^2 + 6 * (1/7)^3
    2 * 49 + 5 * 7 + 0 * 1 + 3/7 + 4 * 1/49 + 6 * 1/343
    98 + 35 + 3/7 + 4/49 + 6/343
    133 & 181/343
