Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Convert all mixed numbers to improper fractions.

    678=6×8+78=48+78=5586\frac{7}{8} = \frac{6 \times 8 + 7}{8} = \frac{48 + 7}{8} = \frac{55}{8} 812=8×2+12=16+12=1728\frac{1}{2} = \frac{8 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{16 + 1}{2} = \frac{17}{2} 612=6×2+12=12+12=1326\frac{1}{2} = \frac{6 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{12 + 1}{2} = \frac{13}{2}

    The expression becomes:

    558+172×132\frac{55}{8} + \frac{17}{2} \times \frac{13}{2}
  2. Perform the multiplication first, according to the order of operations.

    172×132=17×132×2=2214\frac{17}{2} \times \frac{13}{2} = \frac{17 \times 13}{2 \times 2} = \frac{221}{4}

    The expression is now:

    558+2214\frac{55}{8} + \frac{221}{4}
  3. Add the fractions.

    To do this, find a common denominator, which is 8.
    Convert 2214\frac{221}{4} to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 8:

    2214=221×24×2=4428\frac{221}{4} = \frac{221 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \frac{442}{8}

    Now add the fractions:

    558+4428=55+4428=4978\frac{55}{8} + \frac{442}{8} = \frac{55 + 442}{8} = \frac{497}{8}
  4. Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number.

    Divide 497 by 8:

    497÷8=62 with a remainder of 1497 \div 8 = 62 \text{ with a remainder of } 1

    So, the mixed number is 621862\frac{1}{8}.

    The final answer is \boxed{\text{62\frac{1}{8}}}.
