1. **State the problem:** Calculate $\frac{3}{20}$ of $\left(4 \frac{1}{3} - 2 \frac{1}{5}\right)$.
2. **Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:**
$4 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{13}{3}$ and $2 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{11}{5}$.
3. **Rewrite the expression:**
$\frac{3}{20} \times \left(\frac{13}{3} - \frac{11}{5}\right)$.
4. **Find common denominator and subtract inside the parentheses:**
Common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15.
$\frac{13}{3} = \frac{65}{15}$ and $\frac{11}{5} = \frac{33}{15}$.
So,
$\frac{65}{15} - \frac{33}{15} = \frac{32}{15}$.
5. **Multiply by $\frac{3}{20}$:**
$\frac{3}{20} \times \frac{32}{15} = \frac{3 \times 32}{20 \times 15} = \frac{96}{300}$.
6. **Simplify the fraction:**
$\frac{96}{300} = \frac{\cancel{96}^{32}}{\cancel{300}^{100}} = \frac{32}{100}$.
7. **Simplify further:**
$\frac{32}{100} = \frac{\cancel{32}^{8}}{\cancel{100}^{25}} = \frac{8}{25}$.
**Final answer:**
$$\frac{3}{20} \times \left(4 \frac{1}{3} - 2 \frac{1}{5}\right) = \frac{8}{25}.$$
