Question

A car takes 12 minutes to cover 1 mile.
Find the total time required to cover the entire distance from point 1 to point 5 by the car.

• A. 490 minutes
• B. 492 minutes
• C. 488 minutes
• D. 484 minutes

Answer 1

The correct option is B 492 minutes

Given,
Time taken by the car to cover 1 mile = 12 minutes

Total distance to be covered = 41 miles

∴ Total time required = 41 x 12 minutes

Let us solve this using the box method.

The expanded form of (41 × 12) is:

Step 1: Draw a table in the following way.

Step 2: Fill the table by multiplying the numbers.

Finally, we add all the products.


So, the time taken by the car to travel from point 1 to point 5 is 492 minutes.
