Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To find out how much distance Sajal will cover in `3 1/3` hours when he walks `2 2/5` km in an hour, we can use the formula for distance: **Distance = Speed × Time** ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions First, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. 1. **Convert `2 2/5` km:** - Multiply the whole number by the denominator: \(2 \times 5 = 10\) - Add the numerator: \(10 + 2 = 12\) - So, \(2 2/5 = \frac{12}{5}\) km. 2. **Convert `3 1/3` hours:** - Multiply the whole number by the denominator: \(3 \times 3 = 9\) - Add the numerator: \(9 + 1 = 10\) - So, \(3 1/3 = \frac{10}{3}\) hours. ### Step 2: Calculate the Distance Now we can use the distance formula. **Distance = Speed × Time** Substituting the values we have: \[ \text{Distance} = \left(\frac{12}{5}\right) \times \left(\frac{10}{3}\right) \] ### Step 3: Multiply the Fractions To multiply the fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{12 \times 10}{5 \times 3} = \frac{120}{15} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Fraction Now, simplify the fraction: \[ \frac{120}{15} = 8 \] ### Conclusion Sajal will cover a distance of **8 km** in `3 1/3` hours. ---
