The correct Answer is:
To find the distance covered by a car in \(2 \frac{2}{5}\) hours at a speed of \(46 \frac{2}{3}\) km per hour, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions. 1. **Convert \(2 \frac{2}{5}\)**: \[ 2 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2 \times 5 + 2}{5} = \frac{10 + 2}{5} = \frac{12}{5} \] 2. **Convert \(46 \frac{2}{3}\)**: \[ 46 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{46 \times 3 + 2}{3} = \frac{138 + 2}{3} = \frac{140}{3} \] ### Step 2: Use the formula for distance. The formula for distance is: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Time} \times \text{Speed} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{12}{5} \times \frac{140}{3} \] ### Step 3: Multiply the fractions. To multiply the fractions, multiply the numerators and the denominators: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{12 \times 140}{5 \times 3} = \frac{1680}{15} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the fraction. Now, simplify \(\frac{1680}{15}\): 1. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 15: \[ 1680 \div 15 = 112 \] \[ 15 \div 15 = 1 \] Thus, the simplified distance is: \[ \text{Distance} = 112 \text{ km} \] ### Final Answer: The distance covered by the car is **112 kilometers**. ---
