A car traveling at 60km/h takes 3 and 3/4 hrs to complete a journey. How far is the journey?

To find the distance of the journey, we can use the formula:
distance = speed x time
where speed is in km/h and time is in hours.
Given that the car is traveling at 60 km/h and takes 3 and 3/4 hours to complete the journey, we can substitute these values into the formula:
distance = 60 km/h x 3.75 hours
To multiply 60 by 3.75, we can convert 3.75 to an improper fraction:
3.75 = 3 + 0.75
= 3 + 3/4
So, we have:
distance = 60 km/h x (3 + 3/4) hours
= 60 km/h x 3 hours + 60 km/h x 3/4 hours
= 180 km + 45 km
= 225 km
Therefore, the distance of the journey is 225 km.
