The image you shared contains word problems related to multiplication of fractions. Let's solve each exercise one by one.

### Exercise 4.4

#### 1. I can walk \( 5 \frac{1}{8} \) km in an hour. What distance will I cover in \( 3 \frac{1}{8} \) hours?
- Convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions:
  \[
  5 \frac{1}{8} = \frac{41}{8}, \quad 3 \frac{1}{8} = \frac{25}{8}
  \]
- Multiply the two fractions:
  \[
  \text{Distance} = \frac{41}{8} \times \frac{25}{8} = \frac{41 \times 25}{8 \times 8} = \frac{1025}{64} = 16 \frac{1}{64} \text{ km}
  \]

#### 2. The cost of one chocolate bar is Rs \( 9 \frac{2}{7} \). What is the cost of 9 such chocolate bars?
- Convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:
  \[
  9 \frac{2}{7} = \frac{65}{7}
  \]
- Multiply the cost by 9:
  \[
  \text{Cost of 9 bars} = 9 \times \frac{65}{7} = \frac{585}{7} = 83 \frac{4}{7} \text{ Rs}
  \]

#### 3. One kg of apples costs Rs \( 68 \frac{1}{3} \). What is the cost of \( 2 \frac{1}{4} \) kg of apples?
- Convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions:
  \[
  68 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{205}{3}, \quad 2 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}
  \]
- Multiply the two fractions:
  \[
  \text{Cost} = \frac{205}{3} \times \frac{9}{4} = \frac{205 \times 9}{12} = \frac{1845}{12} = 153 \frac{9}{12} = 153 \frac{3}{4} \text{ Rs}
  \]

#### 4. One litre of petrol costs Rs \( 76 \frac{8}{9} \). What is the cost of 33 litres of petrol?
- Convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:
  \[
  76 \frac{8}{9} = \frac{692}{9}
  \]
- Multiply by 33:
  \[
  \text{Cost of petrol} = 33 \times \frac{692}{9} = \frac{22836}{9} = 2537 \frac{3}{9} = 2537 \frac{1}{3} \text{ Rs}
  \]

#### 5. A bag contains \( 52 \frac{4}{5} \) kg of sugar. How much sugar do 8 such bags contain?
- Convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:
  \[
  52 \frac{4}{5} = \frac{264}{5}
  \]
- Multiply by 8:
  \[
  \text{Sugar in 8 bags} = 8 \times \frac{264}{5} = \frac{2112}{5} = 422 \frac{2}{5} \text{ kg}
  \]
