The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Convert the mixed number for speed Aslam can walk `5 2/5` km in one hour. We need to convert this mixed number into an improper fraction. - **Calculation**: \[ 5 \frac{2}{5} = 5 + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{5 \times 5 + 2}{5} = \frac{25 + 2}{5} = \frac{27}{5} \text{ km/hour} \] ### Step 2: Convert the mixed number for time Next, we convert `3 1/4` hours into an improper fraction. - **Calculation**: \[ 3 \frac{1}{4} = 3 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{12 + 1}{4} = \frac{13}{4} \text{ hours} \] ### Step 3: Use the formula for distance To find the distance covered, we use the formula: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \] - **Calculation**: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{27}{5} \text{ km/hour} \times \frac{13}{4} \text{ hours} \] ### Step 4: Multiply the fractions Now we multiply the fractions together. - **Calculation**: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{27 \times 13}{5 \times 4} = \frac{351}{20} \text{ km} \] ### Step 5: Convert to mixed number Finally, we convert the improper fraction \(\frac{351}{20}\) into a mixed number. - **Calculation**: \[ 351 \div 20 = 17 \quad \text{(whole number)} \] \[ \text{Remainder} = 351 - (20 \times 17) = 351 - 340 = 11 \] Thus, \(\frac{351}{20} = 17 \frac{11}{20} \text{ km}\). ### Final Answer Aslam will cover \(17 \frac{11}{20}\) km in \(3 \frac{1}{4}\) hours. ---
