To solve the expression (2+3.5) * (7/8+6), we can follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction.
First, let's simplify what's inside the parentheses:
(2+3.5) * (7/8+6) = 5.5 * (7/8+6)
Next, let's simplify the fraction:
(7/8+6) = (7/8 + 6*8/8) = (7/8 + 48/8) = 55/8
Now we can substitute this back into the original expression:
5.5 * (55/8)
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(5.5 * 55) / (1 * 8) = 302.5 / 8
So the final result is 37.8125
