The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the distance covered by a car traveling at a speed of \( 105 \frac{1}{5} \) km/h for \( 3 \frac{3}{5} \) hours, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions 1. **Convert the speed**: - The speed is given as \( 105 \frac{1}{5} \) km/h. - To convert this to an improper fraction: \[ 105 \frac{1}{5} = 105 + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{105 \times 5 + 1}{5} = \frac{525 + 1}{5} = \frac{526}{5} \text{ km/h} \] 2. **Convert the time**: - The time is given as \( 3 \frac{3}{5} \) hours. - To convert this to an improper fraction: \[ 3 \frac{3}{5} = 3 + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 5 + 3}{5} = \frac{15 + 3}{5} = \frac{18}{5} \text{ hours} \] ### Step 2: Use the formula for distance The formula for distance is: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \text{Distance} = \left(\frac{526}{5} \text{ km/h}\right) \times \left(\frac{18}{5} \text{ hours}\right) \] ### Step 3: Multiply the fractions To multiply the fractions: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{526 \times 18}{5 \times 5} = \frac{9468}{25} \text{ km} \] ### Step 4: Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number To convert \( \frac{9468}{25} \) to a mixed number: 1. Divide \( 9468 \) by \( 25 \): - \( 9468 \div 25 = 378 \) remainder \( 18 \). 2. Thus, we can write: \[ \frac{9468}{25} = 378 \frac{18}{25} \text{ km} \] ### Final Answer The distance covered by the car is \( 378 \frac{18}{25} \) km. ---
