The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how much distance a car will cover at a speed of \(43 \frac{1}{5}\) km/h for \(3 \frac{1}{3}\) hours, we will follow these steps:
### Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
- For \(43 \frac{1}{5}\):
\[
43 \frac{1}{5} = 43 + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{43 \times 5 + 1}{5} = \frac{215 + 1}{5} = \frac{216}{5}
\]
- For \(3 \frac{1}{3}\):
\[
3 \frac{1}{3} = 3 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{9 + 1}{3} = \frac{10}{3}
\]
### Step 2: Use the formula for distance.
The formula for distance is:
\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}
\]
Substituting the values we found:
\[
\text{Distance} = \frac{216}{5} \times \frac{10}{3}
\]
### Step 3: Multiply the fractions.
To multiply the fractions, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:
\[
\text{Distance} = \frac{216 \times 10}{5 \times 3} = \frac{2160}{15}
\]
### Step 4: Simplify the fraction.
Now, we simplify \(\frac{2160}{15}\):
- Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 15:
\[
\frac{2160 \div 15}{15 \div 15} = \frac{144}{1} = 144
\]
### Final Answer:
The distance covered by the car is **144 km**.
