Convert the whole numbers into fractions by multiplying by the least common multiple of the denominator of all the fractions, so they're all fractions, and solve from there.
Sorry for not giving a more in depth answer sooner, but I was late for something. Anyways, so 34*6.4 1/2, well this can be read in two different ways. Either 34 times 6.4 over 2, or 34 times 6.4 and a half. If it's the latter, then you do as I was explaining earlier. (68/2)*(13.8/2) which comes out to be 220.8
Otherwise, it's (34*6.4)/2 which comes out to be 108.8
Hope this helped.
