• A. 28.98 miles
• B. 291.93 miles
• C. 301.23 miles
• D. 289.98 miles

Answer 1

The correct option is D 289.98 miles

To find the distance travelled by Rambo's car in 6 hours,
we need to compute $48.33\times 6$

Let's consider 48.33 as whole number 4833 by moving decimal point two units to right :
$4833\times 6=28998$

Now, we will compensate movement of decimal point in 48.33 by moving decimal point in 28998.0 by two units to the left i.e. 289.98
$\therefore$ $48.33\times 6=289.98$

Rambo's car travelled 289.98 miles in 6 hours.
