Note
Only the noun takes this -s. The ordinal adjective never does, so one says the seventh day but two sevenths of the cake. In fractions the plural appears with any count above one: one seventh, three sevenths. In music it counts intervals or the tones that form them. It can also name several things that each stand in seventh place.
