1. **State the problem:** Calculate $8.5 \times 7 - \frac{6.3}{9} + 10.6$ following the BEDMAS order. 2. **Recall BEDMAS rules:** - B: Brackets first - E: Exponents second - D: Division and M: Multiplication (from left to right) - A: Addition and S: Subtraction (from left to right) 3. **Step 1: Multiply $8.5 \times 7$** $$8.5 \times 7 = 59.5$$ 4. **Step 2: Divide $6.3$ by $9$** $$\frac{6.3}{9} = 0.7$$ 5. **Step 3: Substitute back into expression:** $$59.5 - 0.7 + 10.6$$ 6. **Step 4: Perform subtraction and addition from left to right:** $$59.5 - 0.7 = 58.8$$ $$58.8 + 10.6 = 69.4$$ 7. **Final answer:** $$\boxed{69.4}$$
