The question asks you to multiply each whole number by the corresponding fraction. Let's break it down and solve:

### Multiplying the whole numbers by the fractions:
1. \( 6 \times 1 \) (This one is straightforward):  
   \( 6 \times 1 = 6 \)

2. \( 8 \times \frac{7}{8} \):  
   \( 8 \times \frac{7}{8} = \frac{8 \times 7}{8} = 7 \)

3. \( 10 \times \frac{3}{4} \):  
   \( 10 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{10 \times 3}{4} = \frac{30}{4} = 7.5 \)

4. \( 5 \times \frac{5}{8} \):  
   \( 5 \times \frac{5}{8} = \frac{5 \times 5}{8} = \frac{25}{8} = 3.125 \)

### Now, the answers:
- \( 6 \times 1 = 6 \)
- \( 8 \times \frac{7}{8} = 7 \)
- \( 10 \times \frac{3}{4} = 7.5 \)
- \( 5 \times \frac{5}{8} = 3.125 \)

### a) The smallest answer:  
**3.125** (from \( 5 \times \frac{5}{8} \))

### b) The largest answer:  
**7.5** (from \( 10 \times \frac{3}{4} \))
