Easy way to figure it out is to do the math:
1/3 = 1 divided by 3
Add a zero to get:
10/3 = 3 + 1 remainder
Repeat the same step with the remainder:
10/3 = 3 + 1 remainder
and so on....All of the numbers are AFTER the decimal point because you have to keep adding that zero, so you end up with:
1/3 = 0.333333 and so on
This means 7 1/3 = 7.3333
You could have done this with the 3 1/5 question that was asked earlier too.
1/5 = 1 divided by 5
10/5 = 2 so 1/5 = .2

All the previous answers are correct. The 1/3 component of this mixed fraction does not become an easy decimal, it does become 0.333333 (and you could write 3s forever). The most common way to show that this digit repeats, however, is by putting a dot above it. If you have a question in which two ore more digits repeat (e.g. 8 3/11 = 8.272727272727) you would write the repeating digits with a bar over top.

There is no exact decimal to the last number because 1/3 of 1 is .3333 to its infinite.
7.33 will due.
