Answer 1

Sounds right to me. BTW - Congratulations. You are the first student who actually showed work and asked for confirmation whether it is right.

Answer 2

Yes you are right. It is 861/31.

Answer 5

Thank you

Answer 6

\[\frac{6{}^{\wedge}2-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3}{\frac{7}{8}+\frac{5}{12}}=\frac{36-\frac{1}{8}}{\frac{31}{24}}=\frac{\frac{287}{8}}{\frac{31}{24}}=\frac{861}{31} \]
