You have 8 glucose molecules and 3 triglyceride molecules (comprised of stearic acid). There is plenty of oxygen so all of your substrate will undergo oxidative phosphorylation. Start with your glucose molecules and trace them through glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Remember that 2 pyruvate are produced from each glucose molecule. The triglyceride is composed of a glycerol and 3 fatty acid chains of stearic acid (a 18 carbon saturated fatty acid). Your triglyceride molecules will go through beta-oxidation. The end product of beta-oxidation is acetyl-CoA. The acetyl-CoA that is produced from beta-oxidation will then enter the Krebs cycle, while the NADH and FADH2 produced during beta-oxidation will go directly to the electron transport chain. Remember, there are three fatty acid chains on each triglyceride molecule.
