Explanation

The chapter explains multiplication of fractions with mixed numbers. Distance = 16×234=16×114=1764=4416 \times 2\frac{3}{4} = 16 \times \frac{11}{4} = \frac{176}{4} = 44 km.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Convert mixed fraction: 234=1142\frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4} litres

  2. Step 2: Distance = 16×114=1764=4416 \times \frac{11}{4} = \frac{176}{4} = 44 km
