Couple of ways to solve this.
Equation is:

4/11 * y = 56

If that's true, then 1/11 * y = 56/4 = 14

7/11 * y equals 7*14 = 98

The other way to solve this is:

4/11 * y = 56

Multiply both sides by 11 to get 4*y = 616

Divide both sides by 4 to get y = 154

Since y = 154, then:

7/11 * y = 7/11 * 154 = 98

Your answer is 98.
