The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the distance covered by a car moving at a speed of \(60\frac{2}{5}\) km/hr over a time of \(6\frac{1}{4}\) hours. ### Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions 1. **Convert the speed**: \[ 60\frac{2}{5} = \frac{60 \times 5 + 2}{5} = \frac{300 + 2}{5} = \frac{302}{5} \text{ km/hr} \] 2. **Convert the time**: \[ 6\frac{1}{4} = \frac{6 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{24 + 1}{4} = \frac{25}{4} \text{ hours} \] ### Step 2: Use the formula for distance The formula for distance is: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{302}{5} \times \frac{25}{4} \] ### Step 3: Multiply the fractions To multiply the fractions, we multiply the numerators and the denominators: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{302 \times 25}{5 \times 4} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression 1. **Simplify \(5\) and \(25\)**: \[ \frac{25}{5} = 5 \] So, we have: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{302 \times 5}{4} \] 2. **Calculate \(302 \times 5\)**: \[ 302 \times 5 = 1510 \] Thus: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{1510}{4} \] ### Step 5: Divide to find the final distance Now, divide \(1510\) by \(4\): \[ \text{Distance} = 377.5 \text{ km} \] ### Final Answer: The distance covered by the car is \(377.5\) km. ---
