Future tense of Mettere

I'm a bit confused in lesson 5.5 where it has  metterò  = (I) will take. 

Mettere means to put so future tense first person would be  metterò = I will put.
Prendere
means to take so future tense first person would be prenderò = I will take. 

Is using metterò  to mean "I will take" a figure of speech where they would use "put" where in English we would use he word "take" ?

I also noticed Va bene , grazie. Quanto tempo ci metterà per arrivare ? means  Okay, thank you. How long will (it) take to get there?  Similar thing where metterà is used to say will take.

Regards,
Mark
