Answer:
53km
Explanation:
The total distance covered by the car will be the sum total of the distance moved during the journey.
Distance moved towards east = 5 km
Distance moved towards west = 48km
Total distance covered = Distance moved towards east+Distance moved towards east
Total distance covered = 5km+48km
Total distance covered = 53km
Hence the total distance a car would travel if it moves 5 km East and then turns and travels 48 km West is 53km
