Problem

Martha starts out with the number $7$ on her calculator, which has three buttons that multiply the current number by $\frac{1}{2}$, $\frac{2}{3}$, and $\frac{5}{6}$ respectively. She randomly presses one of the buttons four times. After these $4$ presses, she cubes the number. The expected value of the final number is $\frac{m}{n},$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n.$ Find $m+n.$
