Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the equation,

Speed = distance / time

But here it's mentioned the average speed, so the equation can be rewritten as,

Average speed = total distance/time taken

And we get,

Total distance = average speed × time taken

So we get by substituting,

Total distance = 16km/h × (15min/60)

= 4 km

Mind that I have converted time to hours by dividing by 60.
