Are you looking to multiply?
Change the mixed numbers to fractions then multiply numerators and denominators.
81%2B1%2F3=243%2F3%2B1%2F3=244%2F3
81%2B5%2F12=972%2F12%2B5%2F12=977%2F12
So then,
%28244%2F3%29%28977%2F12%29=238388%2F36
%28244%2F3%29%28977%2F12%29=59597%2F4
%28244%2F3%29%28977%2F12%29=14899%2B1%2F4
