The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction, then calculate the time taken for 15 rounds. ### Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction Rohit takes `4 4/5` minutes for one round. We can convert this mixed number into an improper fraction. - The whole number part is 4. - The fractional part is `4/5`. To convert it: \[ 4 \frac{4}{5} = \frac{(4 \times 5) + 4}{5} = \frac{20 + 4}{5} = \frac{24}{5} \text{ minutes} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the time for 15 rounds Now that we know the time for one round is `\(\frac{24}{5}\)` minutes, we can find the time for 15 rounds by multiplying the time for one round by 15. \[ \text{Time for 15 rounds} = 15 \times \frac{24}{5} \] ### Step 3: Perform the multiplication To multiply, we can simplify: \[ 15 \times \frac{24}{5} = \frac{15 \times 24}{5} = \frac{360}{5} \] Now, divide 360 by 5: \[ \frac{360}{5} = 72 \text{ minutes} \] ### Conclusion Therefore, Rohit will take **72 minutes** to complete 15 rounds of the circular park. ---
