First, multiply 75 by 8 to get 600.
Then multiply 1/3 by 8 to get 8/3 or 2 2/3.
Add those together to get 602 2/3.

Next multiply 1/3 by 3/4 by multiplying the numerator by 3 and the denominator by 4. That is 3/12. Also known as 1/4.
Multiply 75 by 3/4 by dividing it by 4 then multiplying it by 3. That is 56 1/4.
Add 56 1/4 and 1/4 together to get 56 1/2.

Lastly, add together 56 1/2 and 602 2/3.
Convert the fractions to sixths.
56 3/6 + 602 4/6 = 659 1/6 miles
Hope this helps!
